Rachel Sennott Movies and TV Shows

In her short career, Rachel Sennott has already done it all. She has dabbled in comedy, written and produced feature films, and starred in several projects, including movies and TV shows. After graduating from NYU’s esteemed Tisch School of the Arts (known for its extensive pool of celebrity alums ranging from Martin Scorsese to Adam Sandler), Sennott began doing comedy performances at open mic nights, which led to her doing her own shows online like “Puke Fest” and “Ur Gonna Slp Rlly Well Tonight.”

“I like juggling multiple projects,” Sennott told Forbes in 2020 about balancing comedy and her movie and television projects. “It makes me feel less stuck. If I am frustrated in one area, I can always push myself in another.”

The success of Sennott’s comedy opened up opportunities for her to act in larger-scale television shows and movies, including an episode of HBO’s “High Maintenance” in 2018. From there, she starred in and produced the 2020 film “Shiva Baby.” Most recently, Sennott starred as Leia in HBO’s sultry and controversial series “The Idol,” alongside Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd. She also stars alongside Ayo Edebiri in “Bottoms,” which they also co-wrote together and which hits theaters in August.

And fans can expect to see a lot more from Sennott in the future, as she’s slated to star in several upcoming projects, including “Holland, Michigan,” a thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Matthew Macfadyen that was greenlit in 2022, per Deadline.
