Over the last nine years, Netflix’s “Stranger Things” captivated audiences of all ages for its riveting plot and cast of young actors who grew up in front of our television screens. One of those characters is the quick-witted, smart and humorous younger sister of Lucas Sinclair, Erica Sinclair, portrayed by emerging actress Priah Ferguson.
While “Stranger Things” is wrapping up its five-season run with its series finale on Dec. 31, Ferguson’s acting career continues to wind up. She’s set to star in the upcoming “Samo Lives” — a biopic on Jean-Michel Basquiat — and recently teased her role of Dasha in the 2026 scripted sci-fi podcast Hard Drive, created and written by the Neese brothers [Jason Neese and Jamie Neese].
Fresh off of high school graduation earlier this year, Ferguson evolved her red carpet style with the help of stylist Enrique Melendez, longtime collaborator of Jenna Ortega. At the “Stranger Things” Season Five world premieres in California and London, Melendez styled Ferguson in all-black ensembles by brands Aadnevik and Alisadudaj, respectively.
