One of Sellers’s most notable roles came in 2011 when she was cast as the lead in the children’s television show Mia and Me.

She starred in seasons one and two, both in a live-action role and a voice role. The show aired on Nick Jr. in the United States and appeared in Germany, Italy, and Canada. 

It follows a young girl, played by Sellers, who is able to travel to the magical world of Centopia via a game/book written by her late father. There, she becomes a winged elven girl who interacts with a cast of mystical characters.

In 2015 at the age of 19, Sellers auditioned for and received a recurring role in the HBO fantasy drama Game of Thrones.

She was cast as Tyene Sand, the illegitimate daughter of Prince Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal) and one of the Sand Snakes.

She eventually takes control in Dorne, one of the nine regions of the Seven Kingdoms, before later being poisoned by Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) for murdering Myrcella Baratheon (Nell Tiger Free). 

Her character was fierce, reckless, and known for fighting with blades covered in poison.

Fans were generally torn on her character. They felt that she had the most personality out of all the illegitimate children/Sand Snakes. Still, they thought the character’s storyline was boring and poorly executed.

Ultimately, Sellers only appeared in nine episodes of Game of Thrones.
