She finds that her father, who has grown reclusive since losing his wife two years ago, has handed over day-to-day operations of the club to a laid-back, new golf pro, Daniel (Marcus Rosner). Daniel’s casual style is at odds with Whitney’s and it throws her off her game, literally. As the pair get to know each other, their perspective changes and a romance develops.

Much like the Faces of 2023, there are always entertainers of note to be on the look-out for in the new year or those who made great waves throughout the current year who will, undoubtedly, be big stars in the new year.

The new faces of 2024 appear below in no particular order:

India Amarteifio — India has been acting for the past 10 years, including her breakthrough role in the streaming series Sex Education and prior to that the British series Evermoor, but it was her unenviable task to play the title role in the Netflix spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, portraying young Queen Charlotte (so deliciously portrayed by Golda Rosheuvel in Bridgerton). She is reportedly set to star alongside Andrew Garfield in the indie drama Hot Air about the British gymnastics’ world.

Lily Gladstone – Lily got her start in the 2012 French film Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian that starred Benicio del Toro and has appeared in movies with the likes of Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart and Michelle Williams in 2016 and Toby Jones in 2019 as well as Showtime’s Billions and FX’s Reservation Dogs; but it was her lead role of Mollie Burkhart in Killers of the Flower Moon alongside the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. Lily’s next project is the Hulu series Under the Bridge.

Marisa Abela – This 20-something British actress made her TV debut in England in the action series COBRA and then starred in the HBO drama Industry (alongside our 2022 Face Myha’la Herrold). She also appeared in last year’s film Rogue Agent before being part of the 2023 juggernaut Barbie. However, it will be her lead role in the Back to Black biopic about the late singer Amy Winehouse that assuredly will garner her a lot of attention.

Teyana Taylor – This 30-something New Yorker is already an established musical artist (singer, songwriter, dancer and choreographer) who has BET and MTV Video Music Awards under her belt; but it was her performance as a single mother in the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning film A Thousand and One that turned heads. Next up for her is The Book of Clarence where she will star opposite Benedict Cumberbatch and Alfre Woodard.

Yasmin Finney — This newcomer, who initially gained a following through her TikTok videos about her experiences as a Black British teenage trans woman, not only became well-known to TV audiences through her fan favorite role of Elle Argent in the Netflix series Heartstopper, and also landed the plum role of Rose Temple-Noble, the daughter of Donna Noble, in Thanksgiving weekend’s three-part 60th anniversary Doctor Who special (try saying that three times fast) that found David Tennant and Catherine Tate reprising their roles in the long-running series.

Aria Mia Loberti – The Rhode Island native, who is also legally blind due to a severe form of the genetic condition achromatopsia, landed the lead role of Marie-Laure in the highly anticipated four-part limited series All the Light We Cannot See. What’s most impressive is that she was chosen for the role from a global search, beating out thousands of submissions, despite no acting training and off her first, ever, audition. She will next narrate the audiobook for Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the Jules Verne classic novel.

Jonah Hauer-King – He played Laurie in the PBS version of Little Women in 2017, the lead in the 2019 box office movie A Dog’s Way Home and currently plays one of the lead characters in the PBS period drama World on Fire; but it was his turn as Prince Eric in this year’s The Little Mermaid that has garnered him attention. He will next be seen in the TV series The Tattooist of Auschwitz based on the book by Heather Morris, which will air on Peacock in the States. He will play the younger version of Lale Sokolov, the lead character.

Leo Woodall – This up-and-coming British actor has only been on the scene for a few years, but he appeared in the Tom Holland-led indie film Cherry in 2021, then appeared in a couple of episodes of the short-lived TV series adaptation of Vampire Academy last year. He then appeared in two episodes of the Amazon Prime series Citadel before making a buzzy turn in season two of The White Lotus. He will next star in the TV series adaptation of One Day, based on the David Nicholls novel, which was previously made into the 2011 movie starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. He will take on the role of Dexter Mayhew played by Sturgess in the film.

Are there any actors or actresses who you think are the faces to watch in 2024? Please share.
