- Sadie Stanley signed with CAA for representation, while continuing to be repped by Thruline Entertainment, Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, and Shelter PR
- Stanley will star in Netflix's limited series Poser, a thriller created by Lauren Iungerich about two estranged former best friends caught in a psychological game, alongside Daisy Jelley and Annie Murphy
- Stanley stars opposite Ron Livingston and Bo Bragason in Lionsgate's 47 Meters Down: The Wreck, the third installment in the survival horror franchise
- Stanley most recently starred in indie drama Pretty Babies, directed by first-time filmmaker Marie Evans and produced by Christine Vachon, which premiered at this year's Edinburgh Film Festival
- Stanley first broke out with the title role in Disney Channel's 2019 live-action adaptation of animated series Kim Possible
- Stanley's additional credits span Karate Kid: Legends (with Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio), Freeform/Hulu's Cruel Summer, Netflix's Dead to Me, ABC's The Goldbergs, Ray Romano's Somewhere in Queens, Netflix's The Sleepover, and HBO's Room 104
Why it matters: Stanley lands at one of Hollywood's three major talent agencies at a moment she is visibly pivoting from Disney Channel family programming into mature thriller and horror — the Poser and 47 Meters Down bookings are the clearest evidence yet that she is being repositioned for adult-skewing genre work rather than her Kim Possible origins.
