An actor who has been making waves over the past few years is Kathryn Newton. Though she’s still quite young, the talented star has already appeared in a handful of well-received movies and TV shows, including playing the lead in a popular Netflix series.
Her career is only set to grow in the coming years as she has landed the coveted role of Cassie Lang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is slated for a 2023 release. When trying to find the best work throughout all of her appearances on both the big and small screen, IMDb is a good place to check.
10 Gary Unmarried (2008-2010) – 6.7
Buy On Apple TV
The earliest place that people likely remember Kathryn Newton from was in one of the main roles on Gary Unmarried. The CBS sitcom ran for two seasons and centered on a recently divorced couple who attempted to raise their children while starting new romances.
Jay Mohr and Paula Marshall starred as the central couple, while Newton played their daughter Louise Brooks. Laura Marano portrayed her in the pilot but Newton took over and remained in the role until the show ended. Reviews were solid and it won a People’s Choice Award but lackluster ratings led to it being canceled.
9 Ben Is Back (2018) – 6.7
Stream On Hulu
In the back half of the 2010s, it seemed like Lucas Hedges was starring in all sorts of great roles from Manchester by the Sea to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. He followed those up with a leading role in 2018’s Ben is Back as the titular character.
The film tells the story of a mother (Julia Roberts) who struggles to handle her son returning home from rehab. Newton has one of the biggest supporting parts as Ivy, Ben’s sister. Met with strong praise from critics, the film was another feather in the cap for the budding star.
8 The Map Of Tiny Perfect Things (2021) – 6.8
Stream On Amazon Prime
Released exclusively through Amazon Prime, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things marked a leading performance for Kathryn Newton following shining work in Pokémon Detective Pikachu and Freaky. In this, she stars as Margaret alongside Kyle Allen as Jack.
The movie sees Jack, a teenager stuck in a time loop living the same day over and over, get a shock when he meets Margaret, who is also stuck in the same time loop with him. A romance brews between them in this sweet sci-fi film. Among the many positive reviews, Newton’s performance was lauded specifically.
7 The Society (2019) – 7.1
Stream On Netflix
Netflix’s The Society was one of the biggest hits for the streaming platform in 2019. The intriguing sci-fi series centered on a group of teenagers in a small town who have to run their community alone after everyone else in town mysteriously disappears, causing chaos and confusion.
Kathryn Newton had the lead role as Allie Pressman, the younger sister of the town’s golden girl, who must step up as a leader even though she’s not ready for it. The show had a passionate fanbase who still clamor for its return as Netflix renewed it initially only to cancel it after one season due to COVID-19.
6 Little Women (2017) – 7.2
Stream On Amazon Prime
At this point, it feels like there have been countless adaptations of Louisa May Alcott’s famous novel, Little Women. The most recent and arguably the greatest was the 2019 version directed and written by Greta Gerwig but an underrated one arrived a few years earlier.
Done as a three-episode miniseries, this iteration of Little Women was also met with high praise but it wasn’t seen by nearly as many people. Kathryn Newton played Amy March and was joined by other rising stars like Maya Hawke (Jo) and Willa Fitzgerald (Meg) to round out the cast.
5 Lady Bird (2017) 7.4
Stream On Netflix
Speaking of Greta Gerwig, one of her greatest works has to be Lady Bird. Also written and directed by her (and also starring Saoirse Ronan), Lady Bird is kind of the ultimate coming-of-age story, focusing on a teen girl’s strained relationship with her mother as she prepares to head off to college.
The film was both a critical and commercial success, earning five Academy Award nominations and winning the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress (Ronan). Newton has a small role in this as Darlene Bell, a friend of Julianne (Beanie Feldstein).
4 Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) – 8.1
Stream On FXNow
Lady Bird wasn’t the only Best Picture Oscar nominee that Kathryn Newton had a role in from 2017. She was also a hugely important character in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Although she doesn’t have a ton of screen time, the crux of the story is about her.
She portrays Angela Hayes, the daughter of protagonist Mildred (Frances McDormand). It is her unsolved rape and murder that sets the story in motion and causes Mildred to call out the cops of their town. Another commercial and critical hit, this is the highest-rated film of Newton’s career.
3 Halt And Catch Fire (2014-20177) – 8.4
Stream On Netflix
AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire ran for four seasons and starred Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, and Mackenzie Davis in the middle of it all. The series followed a group of characters during the ’80s and it gives an inside look at the rise of computers and eventually the world wide web.
It’s another in a long line of critically-acclaimed shows on AMC and many believed the quality grew with each passing season. That’s good news for Kathryn Newton, who only appeared in the final two seasons. She played the older version of Joanie Clark, the daughter of two of the show’s most important characters.
2 Supernatural (2005-2020) – 8.4
Stream On Netflix
It would take a long time to list every notable actor who appeared on Supernatural over the years. Considering the series ran for a decade and a half, it makes sense that so many stars showed up. It famously centered on the Winchester brothers, a pair of hunters who faces demons, ghosts, and all sorts of other supernatural beings.
Claire Novak was a character introduced in season 4 as the daughter of Jimmy Novak, who is the vessel for Castiel. When she popped up several seasons later, Kathryn Newton took over the role, portraying a girl who had been through a lot during a troubled childhood. Her relationship with Cas became a highlight of her run.
1 Big Little Lies (2017-2019) – 8.5
Stream On HBO Max
Initially conceived as a miniseries, Big Little Lies was a massive success for HBO in 2017. The show racked up the accolades, winning Emmys, Golden Globes, and almost every other kind of award you can imagine. A major reason for the praise was the incredible cast.
Kathryn Newton played Abigail Carlson, the daughter of Reese Witherspoon’s Madeline, and their scenes together in season 1 were some of the best. She wasn’t as prominent in the less positively received season 2, though. The show focuses on a group of mothers in California who get caught up in an unexpected murder investigation.
