K.J. Yossman Bella Ramsey, the star of Lena Dunham’s recent feature “Catherine, Called Birdy,” has signed with CAA, Variety can exclusively confirm. In “Catherine, Called Birdy,” which won rave reviews at Toronto International Film Festival last month, Ramsey plays 14-year-old Birdy, who is coming of age in medieval England where her fate is to be married off to any of the potential suitors her father has in mind – Birdy, meanwhile, has other ideas. Joe Alwyn and Andrew Scott also star in the film, which recently hit Prime Video following a theatrical release. Ramsey also appeared in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” as Lyanna Mormont, the head of the House of Mormont following her mother’s death and the first to declare Jon Snow king of the North during the gathering of the lords at Winterfell.
Her next role will be alongside Pedro Pascal (“Wonder Woman 1984”) in Craig Mazin’s upcoming series for HBO, “The Last of Us.” Based on the critically acclaimed Sony Playstation video game, the series takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Ramsey is set to play Pascal’s ward in the series, which also stars Nick Offerman, with Pascal responsible for delivering her to safety in a post-apocalyptic United States. The series is set to debut next year. Ramsey continues to be represented by Conway van Gelder Grant in the U.K, Relevant PR, and attorney Bianca Levin at Gang, Tyre, Ramer, Brown & Passman.

Scott Huver Standing on the roof of The Grove’s parking structure, writer-director Lena Dunham took in the lavish details of Friday’s influencer-packed VIP screening of her new Prime Video film “Catherine Called Birdy,” clearly delighted by the Ren-Faire-meets-rave vibe that Amazon created to capture the film’s blend of 13th Century setting and contemporary tone. “I’m not above doing all the activities,” enthused Dunham, clad in a billowy blue hoop skirt that essentially precluded sitting down yet matched the event’s old-new ethos by also prominently displaying her tattoos. “I just went and got some jewelry engraved.” Dunham’s immersion in “Birdy’s” world goes back to reading the source material – Karen Cushman’s beloved 1994 YA novel – for the first time when she was 10 years old.
Lena Dunham is celebrating the release of her new Prime Video movie Catherine Called Birdy, which is now streaming!
Note: The following contains spoilers for Catherine Called Birdy.Director Lena Dunham described Karen Cushman’s “Catherine Called Birdy” as a work ingrained in her DNA with a world easy to bring to the screen and populate, but she did want to give the story a more hopeful ending.Dunham’s film follows Cushman’s story pretty closely, which focuses on young Lady Catherine, who goes by Birdy (Bella Ramsey), daughter of Lord Rollo (Andrew Scott) and Lady Aislinn (Billie Piper). Birdy’s impending arranged marriage to some random stranger drives the film’s plot, as she does everything humanly possible to turn off her suitors. “The last act shifts pretty significantly from the book, and that just had to do with a real desire to be able to leave Birdy’s character in a better place than we found her,” Dunham said in a recent interview with TheWrap.
