Bella Ramey has been in the acting game for a few years now, but 2023 has truly been their year, thanks in great part to HBO’s The Last of Us. The young actor played the fan-favorite role of Ellie on the acclaimed video game adaptation and, quite frankly, they gave one of the best performances of the year so far.

Time – a drama series produced by the BBC – has tapped Bella Ramsey as one of the leads of its second season. While specifics on the plot are scarce, Deadline reports that this new batch of episodes will be set to the backdrop of a women’s prison and see Ramsey play the role of Kelsey.
