Katherine Langford, the star of 'Savage River' and '13 Reasons Why'

Katherine Langford was 21 years old when she was cast to play Hannah Baker in the popular and controversial series '13 Reasons Why.' That was in 2017, and this is the actress today. Did you recognize her?

This young Australian actress had never worked outside her country before she was cast in '13 Reasons Why.' After successfully auditioning for the show on Skype, she only had ten days to process her visa for the US and prepare for her trip. But the hassle was worth it.

Katherine Langford was the protagonist of one of the most powerful teen dramas of the 21st century. Her performance was acclaimed by audiences and critics, to the point of her being nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress.

For two seasons, Katherine Langford was as popular as another upcoming actress on Netflix: Millie Bobby Brown. They represented the new generation of Hollywood stars.

By now, the two actresses can no longer be compared that way. Millie Bobby Brown has continued to make seasons of 'Stranger Things' with Netflix, while '13 Reasons Why' stopped after two seasons.

But that doesn't mean that Langford is on the way out. On the contrary! When we look at her filmography, the Australian actress is on a great path.

Do you remember the winter hit 'Knives Out' on Netflix in 2019? Well, Katherine Langford was in that movie, sharing the poster with Daniel Craig, Toni Collette, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ana de Armas, among many other stars.

She also played in 'The Misguided' (2018), 'Love, Simon' (2018), and 'Spontaneous' (2020).

Since then, Katherine Langford seems to have taken a break for a couple of years. She's recharging her batteries.

The actress has said in several interviews that she wanted to go step by step with her career and choose her roles carefully.

The series 'Cursed' (2020), a female revision of Netflix's King Arthur classic, was not received as well as expected. Katherine Langford was its protagonist, Nimue.

Langford is also the star of an Australian crime drama on the country's ABC channel: 'Savage River.' It has held viewers in suspense over the course of September and October 2022.

The Australian twenty-something is an actress with many different styles, to the point that sometimes we don't even recognize her.

With a blonder hair tone, mature make-up style, and her hair pulled back, we saw Katherine at the Paris Fashion Week in September 2022.

The high school teenager from '13 Reasons Why' is no longer part of Katherine Langford's image. Here we can see her on the L'Oreal runway during the Paris Fashion Week of 2022.

The actress is also set to star in 'The Venery of Samantha Bird,' an upcoming psychological thriller created by Anna Moriarty. The drama is an 8-episode series on Starz.

Katherine Langford is the protagonist of a troubled love story in New England and the repercussions that such a relationship can have in a small town where everyone knows each other.

As the president of programming at Starz said about Langford's new role as Samantha Bird: "Katherine is an incredible talent who will bring this modern romance of addictive love to life." We have no reason to doubt her.
