While Netflix itself revealed during its Tudum event about Hamilton joining the Stranger Things series, it did not, however, disclose which character the actress will be playing.

The fact that whether Hamilton will be joining the Hawkins crew against Vecna or will she join the enemy’s side is also unclear due to the same.

The new season, whose shoot was supposed to start in May 2023, has been vaguely delayed due to the Writers Guild of America strike.

Thus, any news of the actress’ character along with other actors who will be cast in the series, is also currently unavailable.

However, rumors have it that Linda Hamilton’s character could be one from the enemy’s side, meaning that she’ll indirectly prove to be a threat to the series’ main characters, including Eleven among others.
