Eliana Su'a set to star in new Disney series 'Pretty Freakin Scary'

Young Samoan actress Eliana Su'a is set to star in new Disney series 'Pretty Freakin Scary' which premieres on 15th of June on the Disney Channel and then the next day on Disney+

The series centres around 14yr old Frankie Ripp (played by Eliana) who had the perfect life - a great family, annoying little brother, a popular boyfriend and a BFF she could always count on. However, her life takes a surprising turn after an unfortunate incident.  After some heated debate in the Underworld with the Grim Reaper herself, Frankie is forced to navigate life with her new Underworld guardians, Pretty and Scary...in the most challenging setting of all…Middle School. Pretty freekin scary, huh?

14yr old Eliana is half Samoan, half Latina and originally got her start in theatre before progressing into TV and film.  Her first role was in 'Simmer' but it was her major breakout role as Dwayne Johnson's on-screen daughter in the blockbuster feature film "FAST & FURIOUS: PRESENTS HOBBS & SHAW" that catapulted her into the spotlight.

Eliana's father Justin Su'a is Head of Mental Performance for Major League Baseball team the Tampa Bay Rays and runs his own podcasts.

Her older brother Jarom is a budding music producer who we have featured here and has worked with the likes of Drake, Timbaland and more.

It's amazing to see Pasifika representation at Disney and we're looking forward to seeing more of her in the next few years.
