Each episode of this terrifying and hilarious prank show takes two complete strangers who each think they’re starting their first day at a new job. It’s business as usual until their paths collide and these part-time jobs turn into full-time nightmares.

The 17-year-old actress was joined by her Stranger Things co-stars Gaten Matarazzo and Finn Wolfhard as they promoted the third season of their Netflix series.

During a recent set visit, Gaten dished that his character, Dustin, was going to become a mentor to another fan fave character – Erica, played by Priah Ferguson.

“They learn that they actually have a lot in common, kind of like Dustin and Steve,” he shared. “Instead of Dustin being the Padawan, now Erica’s the Padawan and Dustin’s the master.”

Millie Bobby Brown waves to fans and cameras while arriving for an interview in New York City on Wednesday (June 12).

The 15-year-old actress joined her co-stars Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Finn Wolfhard, and Noah Schnapp to hype up the upcoming season of Stranger Things.

In a recent interview with Pilot TV, Finn and Noah teased some new tidbits about the new season.

“The first season was more about the adventure aspect and kind of fun, the second season was more about the horror aspect,” Finn shared. “Season three is everything, like the fun of season one and the horror of season two and the Duffers have got better at it, at writing it. And we’ve become better actors.”

Noah also spilled that his character, Will Byers “still has the presence of the monster left, and you kind of see what happens there.”

“People have asked, ‘Does Will get a break this season?’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, sure, for the first two episodes. And then no one really gets a break,” he added.

Stranger Things returns on Netflix on July 4th.
