Ella Bright, the breakout star of Prime Video's romantic drama Off Campus, has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) as her acting career continues to gain momentum.

According to Deadline, Bright plays Hannah Wells in Off Campus, opposite Belmont Cameli. Based on Elle Kennedy's bestselling book series, the show follows an aspiring songwriter navigating college life and a complicated romance with a star hockey player.

The series attracted 36 million viewers worldwide during its first 12 days, making it Amazon's third most-watched series debut of all time, behind The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Fallout.

Alongside her acting work, Bright has performed and recorded several songs for the show's soundtrack. These include "Baby Now That I Found You", featuring Niall Horan, and "Girl That I Am", written by Amy Allen. She has also completed filming the second season of Off Campus.

Bright is set to star opposite Mason Thames in the upcoming coming-of-age comedy Narcs, which will mark her first leading role in a studio film. She has also wrapped filming on Gable, an independent drama inspired by real-life wrestling, featuring Finn Cole and Ben Foster.

Before her recent success, Bright portrayed a young Kate Middleton in Netflix's The Crown and appeared in all seven seasons of the British television series Malory Towers. Her work on the latter earned her nominations at the BAFTA Children's Awards and the Children's & Family Emmy Awards.

Her previous credits also include the comedy Holmes & Watson, starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Bright made her West End debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in 2017.

Bright continues to be represented by Prime Talent Media, Accelerate in the UK, Derek Kroeger at Myman Greenspan and Viewpoint.
