Priah Ferguson, recognised for her breakout performance as Erica Sinclair in the second season of Netflix's Stranger Things, has been officially named a recurring character for season three.

The 11 year old actress, who previously made cameo appearances in the TV shows BB Brown & Friends, Atlanta and Mercy Street, was hailed by Teen Vogue for her ‘witty one-liners’ and ‘no nonsense attitude’ playing Lucas's younger sister in the supernatural drama. Ferguson will join fan favourite Millie Bobby Brown and newbie Maya Hawke, on a ‘wild mission’ to save the town of Hawkins from a dangerous and unexpected new threat when the new series launches next year.
