EXCLUSIVE: Love Lies Bleeding breakout star Katy O’Brian has signed with Gersh. O’Brien had been taking meetings all around town after the film bowed in Sundance and earned her a ton of praise and ultimately chose to go with Gersh as her new reps.
O’Brien leads A24’s Love Lies Bleeding from director Rose Glass. The romantic thriller bows on March 15 and follows Jackie (O’Brian), an aspiring bodybuilder as she moves to rural Nevada and falls in love with an employee at her new local gym, Lou (Kristen Stewart), and is introduced to the chaotic and damaging world of steroids. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim and will receive a wide theatrical release on March 15th.
Later this year, she will star in Universal’s highly anticipated feature Twisters opposite Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell. The film is a sequel to the box-office hit 1996 film Twister, and will be released theatrically on July 19th.
Most recently, O’Brian co-starred as opposite Pedro Pascal in Disney+’s The Mandalorian. She has spent the last two seasons as the Comms Officer quietly in cahoots with Giancarlo Esposito’s ‘Moff Gideon’ as she takes steps to infiltrate the New Republic. Additionally, Katy made her Marvel debut as the Freedom Fighter ‘Jentorra’ opposite Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
O’Brian previously appeared in The Rookie, Magnum P.I., Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Westworld and Black Lightning. She landed her first TV role on AMC’s, The Walking Dead, before landing her first series regular role on the Syfy zombie apocalypse series, Z Nation.
