Just in: BAFTA reveals this year’s 20 promising stars in film, games and TV

The Breakthrough Brits are the next generation of UK talent

If you're wondering who is going to be the next big thing in television and film next year, allow us to help. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (put simply, BAFTA) has just named 20 promising stars of the film, TV and games industries as its Breakthrough Brits of 2019.

These future talents in the entertainment industry will be celebrated with a special event, conducted in partnership with Netflix, on 7 November. They'll also be driven to the event in an Audi and put up in Bulgari London Hotel. Fancy.

But perhaps more importantly, winners will receive one-to-one mentoring and career guidance, as well as access to BAFTA events and networking opportunities in the UK and internationally.

Since its launch in 2013, BAFTA Breakthrough Brits has championed over 100 talented newcomers, including actors Josh O’Connor - who stars in The Crown's season four as Prince Charles - and Black Mirror's Malachi Kirby.

She transitioned from celebrity weekly magazine new! in London, where she worked as the publication’s Fitness & Food editor. Unsurprisingly, she likes fitness and food, and also enjoys hoarding beauty products and recycling.
