Edebiri was one of the busiest young talents in Hollywood this past year, starring in about a dozen projects, including films Theater Camp and Bottoms and the TV series The Bear, for which she just won her first Golden Globe.

Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi also had a busy 2023 and he’s fresh off starring in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn. The list of contenders for the Rising Star Award will also include Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me), and Mia McKenna-Bruce (How to Have S-x).

BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip said that “these remarkable individuals represent what BAFTA and the EE Rising Star Award stand for as the future of the film industry, embodying innovation, dedication, and a commitment to storytelling that captivates audiences worldwide.”

The British Academy Film Awards nomination will be unveiled on January 18, one month ahead of the award ceremony on February 18, hosted by David Tennant.

Babygirl will follow a successful CEO who starts an illicit affair with her much younger intern. Reijn is coming on board as writer and director, in addition to producing this film alongside David Hinojosa of 2AM, with Julia Oh, Zach Nutman, and Christine D’Souza Gelb of 2AM serving as executive producers.

The cast of this sensual thriller is truly an embarrassment of the riches, and it includes the Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies) and Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory) along with Harris Dickinson (The Iron Claw), Sophie Wilde (Talk To Me), and Jean Reno (Léon: The Professional).

Even though the plot details are still being kept under wraps, expectations for this project are running high. Reijn has a great track record with A24, and she’s no stranger to working with a star-studded ensemble cast. Her horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies was met with positive reviews following its premiere at South by Southwest last year, and it starred Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Rachel Sennott, Lee Pace, and Pete Davidson.
