“I’m excited that I can announce that my old friend, a fantastic actress, a badass is joining the Netflix family in one of my favourite shows,” Schwarzenegger said.
Hamilton then appeared in a video, conveying her excitement to join the sci-fi series.
“I don’t know how to be a fan girl and an actress at the same time, I’m gonna work on that,” the actress shared.
“So, good to see you, Arnold. I’ll have dinner with you soon. And everyone else, I’ll see you in Hawkins.”
Further information about Hamilton’s character in the show remains unknown as of now.
