In 2019, audiences begrudgingly said goodbye to the hit show Fleabag, written and created by English actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Since then, she has co-written the screenplay for the 25th James Bond film No Time to Die (2021), recurred in the second season of HBO series His Dark Materials (2020), directed and appeared in music videos for Phoebe Bridgers and Harry Styles. Waller-Bridge is also set to star alongside Harrison Ford in the next Indiana Jones installment.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fleabag follow-up!

Who Is Phoebe Waller-Bridge?

     BBC Studios

While Waller-Bridge is a household name now, that wasn’t always the case. The actress and writer grew up in London where she later attended and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She started in theatre in 2007, when she co-founded the DryWhite Theatre Company with English Actress, stage director playwright and screenwriter, Vicky Jones. Two years later, she began her screen career, working in short films, sitcoms, and dramas. Fans can go back and glimpse Waller-Bridge in her first feature roles in 2011 films Albert Nobbs and The Iron Lady. Her role in the former introduced her to Emerald Fennell, who would perform showrunner duties for her BBC series Killing Eve.

In 2012, she wrote and starred in her new one-woman show at the London Storytelling Festival. Later she would perform the first complete version of the play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, which turned into BBC Three’s Fleabag. But Fleabag was not the first show Waller-Bridge had her hands in. In 2016, she wrote and created the Channel 4 sitcom Crashing. The show was a six-part series that centered around a group of friends that lived in an abandoned London hospital.

Post-Fleabag Success

Following her success with Fleabag, the English star worked on shows, films and even music videos, further cementing her place in the industry. She was set to star in a reboot series-version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) with fellow actor Donald Glover. However, she exited the project in 2021 citing “creative differences” as her reason for bowing out. She is also set to star alongside legend Harrison Ford in the upcoming Indiana Jones film, which is scheduled for a June 2023 release.
