RACHEL SENNOTT is a writer/performer who was most recently seen in the A24 slasher film BODIES BODIES BODIES. The movie premiered to exceptional box office numbers and Rachel specifically received rave reviews for her performance. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline agree that Sennott “stands out” from the rest of the all-star ensemble cast for her “precise comedic timing and chilling dramatic swerves.” The Playlist called her “the highlight in the cast” and in 2022 Collider declared her “this year’s comedic standout.”

Next up for Sennott is BOTTOMS, a feature film via MGM, in which Sennott not only co-leads opposite Ayo Edebiri, but also co-produced and co-wrote with SHIVA BABY director Emma Seligman. The film will make its world premiere at SXSW where it is headlining on March 11th; release date TBC. The stacked cast also features Kaia Gerber, Marshawn Lynch and Nicholas Galitzine. Also premiering at SXSW, Sennott stars in the indie film I USED TO BE FUNNY written and directed by Ally Pankiw. Also coming up, Sennott will be seen in the highly anticipated HBO miniseries THE IDOL which comes from EUPHORIA mastermind Sam Levinson and The Weeknd, who also stars, alongside Lily-Rose Depp, Troye Sivan, Jennie Kim and Dan Levy. Sennott will also be seen in the upcoming indie drama FINALMENTE L’ALBA opposite Willam Dafoe, Lily James and Joe Kerry.

In 2020, Sennott skyrocketed to fame in the critically acclaimed indie feature SHIVA BABY (TIFF, SXSW, LA Outfest), which won the John Cassavetes Award at the 2022 Independent Spirit Awards. Her performance was praised by The New York Times as “a revelation” and earned her a nomination for Gotham’s Breakthrough Performance Award. Rachel has been profiled by The Los Angeles Times, W Magazine, Forbes, Nylon and Paper Magazine among many others for her comedy stylings, described as “Gloria Steinem reporting undercover from the Playboy Club.
