Who Is Daisy Edgar-Jones?

Daisy Edgar-Jones is an English actress best known for playing Marianne Sheridan in the acclaimed 2020 adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel Normal People, a performance that earned her BAFTA and Golden Globe Award nominations. She followed that breakthrough with leading film roles in the thriller Fresh (2022), the literary adaptation Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) and the blockbuster Twisters (2024), in which she played storm chaser Kate Carter opposite Glen Powell.

What defines Edgar-Jones’s career so far is her instinct for character-driven stories. Like Carey Mulligan, she has built her reputation on literary adaptations and emotionally demanding roles rather than franchise work, and she has moved between television, film and the stage with unusual ease for an actress of her age. She is also a global brand ambassador for Estée Lauder, a role she took on in January 2026.

Daisy Edgar-Jones’s Early Life & Background

Daisy Jessica Edgar-Jones was born on 24 May 1998 in Islington, London, England, and grew up in Muswell Hill. Her mother, Wendy, is from Northern Ireland and worked as a drama film editor before moving into real estate, and her father, Philip, is from Scotland and is the director of Sky Arts and head of entertainment at Sky. She first acted in a school play in Year 2, and she took ballet lessons until the age of seven — a discipline she returned to in 2025.

Edgar-Jones was educated at The Mount School for Girls and Woodhouse College in north London, and she was a member of the National Youth Theatre, performing in The Reluctant Fundamentalist in 2017. She studied with the Open University rather than attending drama school, and she began auditioning for television roles while still a teenager.

Daisy Edgar-Jones’s Career

Edgar-Jones began her television career with a recurring role as Olivia Marsden in the ITV comedy-drama Cold Feet, which she played from 2016 to 2020 across 27 episodes. She also appeared in the Outnumbered Christmas special in 2016, an episode of Silent Witness in 2018, and the film Pond Life (2018). She played Delia Rawson in the BBC drama Gentleman Jack (2019) and Emily Gresham in the BBC adaptation of War of the Worlds (2019–2022).

Her breakthrough came in 2020, when she starred as Marianne Sheridan opposite Paul Mescal in Normal People, the BBC and Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney’s bestselling novel. The series was a critical and popular success, and her performance earned her nominations for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film, and the Critics’ Choice Television Award. She also appeared on stage that year in Albion at the Almeida Theatre. She then moved into film, playing Noa in the Sundance thriller Fresh (2022) opposite Sebastian Stan, Kya Clark in the adaptation of Delia Owens’s novel Where the Crawdads Sing (2022), and Brenda Wright Lafferty in the FX true-crime series Under the Banner of Heaven (2022), which brought her a second Golden Globe nomination.

In 2024 Edgar-Jones reached a new level of stardom with Twisters, playing storm chaser Kate Carter opposite Glen Powell in the sequel to the 1996 disaster film. The same year she starred as Muriel Edwards in the film On Swift Horses, on which she also served as executive producer, and played Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Almeida Theatre opposite Kingsley Ben-Adir. In 2026 she starred as Elinor Dashwood in the film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.
