- Ella Bright signed with CAA, while continuing to be represented by Prime Talent Media, Accelerate in the UK, Derek Kroeger at Myman Greenspan, and Viewpoint
- Prime Video's 'Off Campus' drew 36 million viewers worldwide in its first 12 days, ranking as Amazon's third most-watched series debut ever behind only 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' and 'Fallout'
- Bright stars as aspiring songwriter Hannah Wells opposite Belmont Cameli and performed multiple songs for the soundtrack, including 'Baby Now That I Found You' featuring Niall Horan and 'Girl That I Am' written by Amy Allen
- Bright recently wrapped filming the show's second season and is also starring in indie true-life wrestling drama 'Gable' opposite Finn Cole and Ben Foster
- Bright inked her first studio lead, the coming-of-age comedy 'Narcs,' opposite Mason Thames
- Bright's prior credits include playing a young Kate Middleton on Netflix's 'The Crown,' seven seasons of the British series 'Malory Towers,' a role in 'Holmes & Watson' with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and a 2017 West End debut in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child'
Why it matters: A CAA signing typically signals that a studio sees its new client as bankable across film and TV. For Bright, the move formalizes what 36 million viewers and a top-three Amazon debut already proved: she has crossed from British children's television into genuine streaming stardom, and 'Narcs' positions her for her first studio comedy lead.
