Anna Konkle is an acclaimed actress, writer, and director, recognized for her original contributions to television, most notably as co-creator and star of Hulu’s “PEN15.” After co-creating, co-starring, and executive producing the critically acclaimed Hulu original TV comedy series ‘PEN15,’ Anna Konkle established herself as a formidable talent in television. The groundbreaking series, which premiered in 2019, featured Konkle and co-creator Maya Erskine portraying 13-year-old semi-fictional versions of themselves as adults, earning widespread praise for its unique concept and authentic portrayal. ‘PEN15’ garnered Konkle a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 2019, followed by a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series. Prior to this, Konkle built significant experience in television as a main cast member in the FOX series ‘Rosewood’ from 2015 to 2017, appearing in 44 episodes as Tara ‘TMI’ Milly Izikoff.
Her ability to delve into complex characters, from the vulnerable yet resilient Tara in ‘Rosewood’ to the hilariously awkward young Anna in ‘PEN15,’ underscores her range and depth as an artist. As she prepares for new ventures like ‘Close Personal Friends’ and ‘Murderbot’ in 2025, Konkle remains a significant creative force, poised to deliver more innovative and critically acclaimed work across acting, writing, and directing, continuing to push boundaries in the entertainment industry.
