Katherine Langford

Katherine Langford’s career began with acclaimed roles in independent short films, including ‘Daughter’ (2016), which premiered at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. She achieved widespread critical acclaim and a Golden Globe Award nomination for her career-defining portrayal of Hannah Baker in the Netflix series ’13 Reasons Why’ (2017–2018). For this complex role, Langford undertook extensive research, consulting with sexual assault awareness campaigns and adolescent psychiatrists to bring depth and nuance to her performance. Following this breakout success, Langford made her feature film debut in ‘The Misguided’ (2018), further establishing her on-screen presence.

Her diverse project choices continued, consistently seeking roles that allowed for detailed character exploration. In October 2022, she was cast in the Starz television series ‘The Venery of Samantha Bird,’ a high-profile drama that marked her return to episodic television, although production was subsequently halted due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Most recently, on September 23, 2024, Langford made her highly anticipated West End stage debut, taking on the iconic role of Sally Bowles in the musical ‘Cabaret’ at the Playhouse Theatre. This significant milestone showcased her capabilities across different performance mediums and reaffirmed her reputation as a thoughtful and impactful performer in the entertainment industry.
