A new pack of British female actors is emerging in American television, spearheaded by Ella Purnell, the star of Amazon’s hit drama Fallout.
Purnell, 27, has become a breakout star following the launch of the show in April, alongside a crop of other talent including House of the Dragon’s Olivia Cooke and Aimee Lou Wood, who will appear in The White Lotus, both 30, and the 20-year-old star of The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey.
Producers have attributed their success to the unparalleled training they have received in Britain as they cut their acting teeth on the stage on the way to emulating forerunners such as Emily Blunt, Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan and Kate Winslet.
