Eve Hewson’s impressive career trajectory takes another significant leap forward as she joins the ensemble cast of Netflix’s highly anticipated film JAY KELLY. The Irish actress, who has been steadily building an impressive résumé with standout performances in BAD SISTERS and BEHIND HER EYES, now finds herself among Hollywood royalty in Noah Baumbach’s upcoming heartbreaking comedy.

While early buzz from the film has centered on Adam Sandler’s reportedly Oscar-worthy performance, Hewson’s inclusion in this prestigious project marks another strategic step in her rising Hollywood career. The daughter of U2’s Bono has skillfully moved beyond any nepotism shadows, establishing herself as a compelling talent worthy of sharing the screen with industry veterans like George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Greta Gerwig.

Hewson’s casting in JAY KELLY follows her critically acclaimed work in recent years, where she’s demonstrated remarkable range across genres. Her breakout role in the psychological thriller BEHIND HER EYES showcased her ability to navigate complex emotional territory, while her performance in the darkly comedic BAD SISTERS revealed her exceptional timing and depth as an actress.

The upcoming Netflix film, described as a “heartbreaking comedy” co-written by Baumbach and cast member Emily Mortimer, features an extraordinarily stacked ensemble including Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Jim Broadbent, Jamie Demetriou, Isla Fisher, Stacy Keach, and Patrick Wilson. Though plot details remain largely under wraps, the film is scheduled for release this fall.

For Hewson, JAY KELLY represents not just another impressive credit, but potentially a career-defining opportunity that could elevate her visibility among mainstream audiences and industry decision-makers alike. As she continues her ascent in Hollywood, this high-profile project positions her alongside some of the industry’s most respected talents, further cementing her status as one of the most compelling actresses of her generation.
