Andrew Scott in TOO MUCH

Andrew Scott continues his remarkable hot streak with a cameo role in Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy-drama TOO MUCH, cementing his status as one of Britain’s most sought-after actors. The star of ALL OF US STRANGERS joins an absolutely stacked ensemble cast in Lena Dunham’s latest creation, which premieres July 10th on the streaming platform.

Fresh off his critically acclaimed performance in ALL OF US STRANGERS, where he delivered a haunting portrayal of a man reconnecting with his deceased parents, Scott shows no signs of slowing down. His inclusion in TOO MUCH represents another smart career move, aligning himself with a project that brings together some of the most exciting talent working today. The series, created by Girls’ Lena Dunham alongside her husband Luis Felber, follows New York workaholic Jessica, played by Megan Stalter, as she flees to the UK after a devastating breakup and discovers an unexpected connection with musician Felix, portrayed by Will Sharpe from THE WHITE LOTUS.

The supporting cast reads like a who’s who of contemporary entertainment, with Scott appearing alongside Kit Harington, Jessica Alba, Rita Ora, and Jennifer Saunders. The ensemble doesn’t stop there, featuring Stephen Fry, Richard E Grant, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Emily Ratajkowski, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Daisy Bevan. It’s the kind of cast that signals serious ambition and quality, the type of project that attracts talent of Scott’s caliber.

Dunham’s approach to assembling this cast speaks to the collaborative spirit that seems to define Scott’s recent work. “There were so many actors that I respect that I was like, ‘Even if the character is in one episode or four episodes, I want to give them something to grab onto,'” she explained. This philosophy aligns perfectly with Scott’s recent trajectory, where he’s been selective about projects that offer meaningful creative opportunities, regardless of screen time.

The series promises to subvert romantic comedy expectations, with Sharpe noting that Dunham has incorporated “rougher edges” into the tested formula. For Scott, this represents another opportunity to work within familiar genres while bringing his distinctive intensity and emotional depth to the material. His recent career has been defined by this ability to elevate projects through his presence, whether in leading roles or memorable supporting turns.

TOO MUCH arrives at a pivotal moment in Scott’s career, following his breakout performance in ALL OF US STRANGERS and his iconic turn as the “hot priest” in FLEABAG. The Netflix series represents his continued evolution as an actor willing to take risks and collaborate with visionary creators. With Working Title behind the production, the same company responsible for classic romantic comedies, Scott finds himself part of a project that honors the genre’s legacy while pushing it in new directions.

The series debuts July 10th, offering audiences another chance to see Scott bring his unique blend of vulnerability and charisma to a new character. As his star continues to rise, TOO MUCH serves as both a showcase for his talents and a testament to his growing influence in the industry. In an era where streaming platforms are hungry for prestige content, Scott’s involvement signals that TOO MUCH has the star power and creative vision to cut through the noise.

Andrew Scott: CULTURED interview

Andrew Scott CULTURED interview

Andrew Scott CULTURED interview

Andrew Scott has never been one to take the easy path. This past spring, while most actors were content with single-character roles, Scott spent two months at New York’s intimate Lucille Lortel Theatre performing all eight characters in a one-man adaptation of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Night after night, he transformed seamlessly between lovelorn romantics and debonair cynics, executing solo love scenes and emotional breakdowns with the kind of theatrical virtuosity that leaves audiences breathless. The production, directed by Sam Yates, had already conquered London with sold-out performances and critical acclaim before making its way to the barely 300-seat New York venue.

“On the last day, the crew came to the theater dressed as me, and each played one of the characters,” Scott recalls with characteristic humor. “I thought, Jesus, there are loads of people in this play, no wonder I’m exhausted.” It’s a moment that perfectly captures both his humility and the sheer magnitude of what he accomplished on that stage.

This theatrical tour de force represents just one facet of Scott’s remarkable recent trajectory. The Irish actor has spent the past decade crafting a career that defies easy categorization, moving fluidly between stage and screen with an intensity that few performers can match. Following his star-making turn as the maddeningly irresistible priest in FLEABAG, Scott has chosen projects that showcase his range while maintaining his commitment to emotionally complex storytelling.

His 2023 performance opposite Paul Mescal in ALL OF US STRANGERS delivered one of the year’s most devastating portrayals of grief and connection. The film’s exploration of loss and desire allowed Scott to channel his trademark vulnerability into something profound and universal. He followed this with his chilling interpretation of Tom Ripley in 2024’s moody Patricia Highsmith adaptation RIPLEY, proving his ability to inhabit darkness with the same authenticity he brings to tenderness.

Between these screen triumphs, Scott continued his stage work, earning a Laurence Olivier Award and cementing his reputation as one of the few actors equally commanding in both mediums. His friend Josh O’Connor, who first witnessed Scott’s magnetic stage presence at London’s Royal Court while still a theater student, has long admired this balance. “You’ve managed to balance film and theater, but I find it really hard,” O’Connor admits. “If you keep avoiding it, it becomes a monster in your mind.”

Both actors share an affinity for independent films that probe the psychological complexities of human experience, the kind of intimate character studies that generate festival buzz and critical acclaim. However, their recent collaboration in WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY marks a departure from these smaller-scale projects into blockbuster territory. For Scott, the timing provided necessary comic relief during a particularly challenging period; he was simultaneously grieving his mother’s death while filming Richard Linklater’s BLUE MOON, set for release later this year.

The friendship between Scott and O’Connor, built on mutual respect and relentless teasing, reflects a shared understanding of the craft’s demands. O’Connor had just completed work on his forthcoming drama THE HISTORY OF SOUND and was preparing for Kelly Reichardt’s THE MASTERMIND when they began the KNIVES OUT shoot. Early glimpses of the film reveal O’Connor channeling his own version of Scott’s most iconic creation: the hot priest. Rather than imitation, it feels like homage between artists who understand each other’s work intimately.

Scott’s recent career choices reveal an actor unafraid of emotional extremes, whether channeling Chekhov’s melancholy on stage or exploring contemporary trauma on screen. His ability to move between mediums without losing his essential authenticity speaks to a rare kind of artistic integrity. In an industry often driven by commercial considerations, Scott continues to prioritize the depth of human experience, creating performances that resonate long after the curtain falls or the credits roll. His exhaustion after those eight-character performances wasn’t just physical; it was the inevitable result of an actor who refuses to hold anything back.

Andrew Scott in WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Andrew Scott in WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Andrew Scott in WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Andrew Scott’s remarkable career transformation continues to captivate audiences as the Irish actor joins the star-studded cast of WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY, marking another prestigious addition to his increasingly impressive filmography. The announcement places Scott alongside Daniel Craig’s returning detective Benoit Blanc, with Josh O’Connor and Cailee Spaeny rounding out the ensemble for Rian Johnson’s highly anticipated third installment in the beloved mystery franchise.

This casting represents a reunion for Scott and Craig, who previously shared the screen in the James Bond thriller SPECTRE back in 2015, though Scott’s career trajectory has undergone a dramatic evolution since that collaboration. What began as a memorable supporting role in the Bond universe has blossomed into leading man status, with Scott emerging as one of the most compelling actors of his generation.

The transformation has been nothing short of remarkable. Scott’s breakthrough as the “hot priest” in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s FLEABAG introduced audiences to his magnetic screen presence and emotional depth, but it was his recent starring role in Netflix’s RIPLEY that truly showcased his range as a leading man. The neo-noir psychological thriller, based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, allowed Scott to demonstrate his ability to carry a complex, morally ambiguous character across an entire series, earning critical acclaim for his nuanced portrayal of the titular manipulative protagonist.

Scott’s career momentum shows no signs of slowing. His performance alongside Paul Mescal in the critically acclaimed ALL OF US STRANGERS, directed by Andrew Haigh, further cemented his reputation as an actor capable of delivering deeply emotional, authentic performances. The film’s exploration of love, loss, and human connection provided Scott with another opportunity to showcase the vulnerability and intensity that have become hallmarks of his recent work.

Johnson’s decision to cast Scott in WAKE UP DEAD MAN speaks to the actor’s rising star power and the director’s confidence in his ability to hold his own alongside Craig’s established Benoit Blanc character. The KNIVES OUT franchise has become synonymous with stellar ensemble casting, and Scott’s inclusion suggests another memorable performance in what promises to be another intricate mystery.

The film’s title, like its predecessors KNIVES OUT (Radiohead) and GLASS ONION (The Beatles), draws from music, specifically U2’s somber acoustic track from their 1997 album Pop. Netflix has hinted that close listening might reveal clues about the plot, adding another layer of intrigue to a franchise known for its clever mysteries and cultural references.

As WAKE UP DEAD MAN prepares for its December 2025 Netflix premiere, Scott’s involvement represents more than just another casting announcement. It signals the continued rise of an actor who has successfully reinvented himself from supporting player to leading man, proving that talent, timing, and smart project choices can transform a career in unexpected and thrilling ways. With production set to begin in 2025, audiences can anticipate another showcase for Scott’s evolving artistry within Johnson’s expertly crafted mystery universe.

BLUE MOON gets Oct 17 release date

BLUE MOON gets Oct 17 release date

BLUE MOON gets Oct 17 release date

Andrew Scott has been captivating audiences, and his recent triumph at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, where he received the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance, underscores his compelling talent.

This prestigious award recognizes his portrayal of Richard Rodgers in Richard Linklater’s highly anticipated biopic, BLUE MOON. The film, which premiered in Berlin on February 18th, offers a poignant glimpse into the tumultuous final days of Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, Rodgers’ pivotal collaborator before his legendary partnership with Oscar Hammerstein II.

Starring alongside Ethan Hawke as Hart, Scott inhabits the role of Rodgers during a critical juncture, primarily set against the backdrop of the 1943 opening night of OKLAHOMA!. This groundbreaking musical not only revolutionized musical theatre but also cemented Rodgers and Hammerstein’s status as a dominant force. However, BLUE MOON delves into the preceding era, spotlighting the fruitful yet ultimately strained collaboration between Rodgers and Hart, a partnership that gifted the world 28 stage musicals, including ON YOUR TOES and PAL JOEY, and timeless standards like “Blue Moon,” “The Lady Is a Tramp,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.”

As Hart’s struggles with alcoholism led Rodgers to seek new creative avenues, BLUE MOON promises to offer a nuanced portrayal of this pivotal moment in Broadway history. Featuring a talented ensemble cast including Margaret Qualley, Bobby Cannavale, Jonah Lees, Simon Delaney, and Cillian Sullivan, and with a screenplay penned by Robert Kaplow,

BLUE MOON is set for a limited theatrical release in Los Angeles and New York on October 17th, followed by a nationwide roll-out on October 24th, inviting audiences to witness Scott’s award-winning performance and explore this fascinating chapter of American musical theatre.

VANYA adds additional off-Broadway dates

VANYA adds more off-Broadway dates

VANYA adds more off-Broadway dates

In a stunning testament to his artistic versatility, Andrew Scott’s groundbreaking one-man adaptation of UNCLE VANYA is extending its Off-Broadway run before even beginning performances, a reflection of the actor’s meteoric rise in recent years. The production, now set to start on March 10 and continue through May 11, 2025, brings Scott’s tour-de-force performance to American audiences at the Lucille Lortel Theatre following its acclaimed West End run and subsequent film capture.

The innovative adaptation sees Scott embodying all eight characters in Chekhov’s classic drama, where a professor and his young wife visit their rural estate managed by family members Vanya and Sonya, setting off a chain of romantic entanglements and tensions that culminate when the professor announces plans to sell the property. Scott developed this ambitious theatrical experiment alongside adaptor Simon Stephens, designer Rosanna Vize, and director Sam Yates, with rehearsals recently commencing in London.

Scott’s recent career trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. While theater aficionados have long appreciated his stage presence in productions like HAMLET, PRESENT LAUGHTER, and SEA WALL, his mainstream popularity has surged through his mesmerizing performances in FLEABAG, RIPLEY, and ALL OF US STRANGERS. This latest venture highlights Scott’s continued commitment to challenging material despite his Hollywood success, returning to the American stage for the first time since his 2006 Broadway debut in THE VERTICAL HOUR alongside Julianne Moore and Bill Nighy.

The production features an impressive creative team including lighting design by James Farncombe, sound design by Dan Balfour, video design by Jack Phelan, movement direction by Michela Meazza, music by Kelly Moran, and costume design by Natalie Pryce. Produced by Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions, and Kater Gordon, with Wagner Johnson Productions serving as executive producers, this extended run offers theatrical audiences a rare opportunity to witness one of today’s most captivating performers at the height of his artistic powers, transforming Chekhov’s ensemble drama into a singular showcase of his remarkable range.

Andrew Scott in VANYA

Andrew Scott in VANYA

Andrew Scott in VANYA

Andrew Scott, the Emmy-nominated star of FLEABAG and ALL OF US STRANGERS, has brought his tour-de-force performance to New York as Simon Stephens’s radical adaptation of VANYA begins previews at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Fresh from his recent cinematic triumphs in ALL OF US STRANGERS and RIPLEY, Scott now reprises the Olivier Award-winning role that London critics declared “a revelation” during its acclaimed run at the Duke of York’s Theatre in late 2023.

This isn’t just another revival of Chekhov’s classic—it’s a theatrical high-wire act where Scott inhabits every character in the 105-minute production. While luminaries like Laurence Olivier, Ian McKellen, and Peter O’Toole have grappled with the titular role throughout theatrical history, Scott breaks new ground by embodying the entire dramatis personae. The actor, who first captivated American audiences in the BBC’s SHERLOCK before achieving global recognition as the “Hot Priest” in FLEABAG, brings his remarkable emotional range to this innovative staging.

The production, co-created by Scott alongside adapter Simon Stephens, director Sam Yates, and designer Rosanna Vize, “explores the kaleidoscope of human emotions, harnessing the power of the intimate bond between actor and audience to delve deeper into the human psyche.” Scott’s involvement extends beyond mere performance—his creative partnership with the production team reflects his growing artistic influence following his meteoric rise in film and television.

Scott’s return to New York theater marks a significant moment for the actor, who made his Broadway debut in 2006 in David Hare’s THE VERTICAL HOUR. Now, with an Olivier Award and a BAFTA already secured, and coming off his critically acclaimed performance in Andrew Haigh’s tender ghost story ALL OF US STRANGERS, Scott confirms his status as one of our most versatile performing artists.

The off-Broadway run is scheduled for just eight weeks with an official opening night set for March 18. Theater enthusiasts unable to secure tickets may find solace in knowing the London production is currently streaming on National Theatre at Home, though nothing compares to witnessing Scott’s transformative performance live. This limited engagement, executive produced by Wagner Johnson Productions, features the design talents of James Farncombe (lighting), Dan Balfour (sound), Jack Phelan (video), Michela Meazza (movement), and Natalie Pryce (costumes), with Marianna Gailus serving as Scott’s understudy.

Andrew Scott in BLUE MOON

Andrew Scott graced the world premiere of BLUE MOON at the Berlin International Film Festival alongside Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, and director Richard Linklater on Tuesday. The film, shot in Ireland last summer, represents yet another collaboration between Linklater and Hawke, this time creating a one-scene musical drama set in 1943.

While Scott portrays composer Richard Rodgers in BLUE MOON, his casting highlights a career marked by thoughtful role selection and artistic versatility. The Dublin-born actor has built an impressive filmography that spans stage, television, and cinema, with BLUE MOON adding another notable credit alongside his fellow Irish actor Simon Delaney.

Scott’s involvement in this production follows his acclaimed performances in films like PRIDE, SPECTRE, and 1917, as well as his unforgettable television work in SHERLOCK and FLEABAG. Linklater’s musical drama unfolds within a hotel and bar setting on the opening night of OKLAHOMA! with Hawke embodying the troubled Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, whose credits include “The Lady Is a Tramp” and the titular song.

The director aimed to echo the craftsmanship of 1930s and 40s musical theatre, creating a film that, like a Rodgers and Hart composition, balances beauty, sadness, and humor. Scott’s portrayal of Richard Rodgers places him in a narrative exploring the creative partnership behind some of America’s most beloved standards, further demonstrating his range following recent leading roles in ALL OF US STRANGERS and RIPLEY.

Produced in association with Dublin-based Wild Atlantic Pictures, BLUE MOON competes in the main section of the Berlinale eleven years after Linklater won the Silver Bear for BOYHOOD, another Hawke collaboration. The festival’s new director, Tricia Tuttle, has expressed hope that the event’s films would take center stage despite current political discourse, with awards to be presented by a jury led by US director Todd Haynes on Saturday evening.

In an electrifying announcement that has sent fans into a frenzy, acclaimed Irish actor Andrew Scott has been revealed as the star of Sam Fender’s upcoming music video for PEOPLE WATCHING. The Geordie musician, who made his triumphant return to the music scene last November, took to Instagram this week to share a tantalizing glimpse of the BAFTA-winning actor running down a street, confirming the unexpected yet thrilling collaboration.

The teaser for PEOPLE WATCHING, the title track from Fender’s highly anticipated third album, marks a significant moment for both artists.
