Molly Barnard

Molly Barnard’s face might not be plastered everywhere yet, but you’ve definitely caught her if you’ve binged anything worth a damn in the past few years. She popped up in Peaky Blinders—yeah, the razor gang show everyone claims to have watched, even if they only made it through season one. She’s also part of the Slow Horses crowd, tangling with that grumpy MI5 underbelly, which is a hell of a ride if you’re into British spy stuff with a side of sarcasm. Now, she’s got a role in The Gorge (2025), which, from all the buzz, is shaping up to be something wild—think emotional gut-punches mixed with whatever the heck Hollywood’s cooked up for genre-bending these days. Honestly, Molly’s got that chameleon thing nailed. One second, she’s in smoky post-war Birmingham, dodging Tommy Shelby’s death stare. Next, she’s slinking through the shadows with Gary Oldman’s gang of misfits. It’s like she refuses to be typecast, and good for her. Most folks sleepwalk through roles, but she actually brings some grit and weird charm to whatever she’s in. You can tell she’s not just cashing a paycheck—there’s some rawness there, makes her stand out in a sea of forgettable faces. So yeah, keep an eye on her. Molly’s not the one you expect to steal a scene, but somehow, she does. Whether she’s trading barbs in a smoky pub or staring someone down across a MI5 briefing table, she’s got that “oh, you’ll remember me” vibe. And trust me, in a world full of bland performances, that’s something.
