Actress Sadie Stanley Signs With CAA (EXCLUSIVE)
EXCLUSIVE: Sadie Stanley, an actress soon to be seen starring in Netflix’s limited series Poser and Lionsgate’s 47 Meters Down: The Wreck, has signed with CAA for representation.
Created by Lauren Iungerich, Poser is a thriller in which two estranged former best friends get caught up in a psychological game after one gets the life she’s always coveted. Daisy Jelley and Annie Murphy also star.
Stanley stars opposite Ron Livinston and Bo Bragason in 47 Meters Down: The Wreck, the third entry in a survival horror franchise from Lionsgate.
Most recently, Stanley has been seen starring in Pretty Babies, an indie drama from first-time director Marie Evans and producer Christine Vachon that premiered at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival. The actress first began rising in the industry after landing the title role in Disney Channel’s 2019 live-action adaptation of popular animated series Kim Possible.
Stanley has also been seen starring in Karate Kid: Legends, alongside Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, Ben Wang and Joshua Jackson; Freeform/Hulu’s Cruel Summer; and Ray Romano’s Somewhere in Queens. She recurred on Netflix’s dark comedy Dead to Me and ABC’s sitcom The Goldbergs, with additional TV credits including Netflix’s The Sleepover and HBO’s Room 104.
Stanley continues to be represented by Thruline Entertainment, Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, and Shelter PR.

EXCLUSIVE: True Brit Entertainment, the UK theatrical distributor founded by former Lionsgate executive Zygi Kamasa, has effectively filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Deadline understands that True Brit, which has distributed titles including Hugh Jackman’s The Death of Robin Hood, has appointed administrators at Simons Muirhead Burton to oversee the company’s affairs.
True Brit launched in 2023 with backing from Three Six Zero, the talent management and entertainment company that has repped stars including Calvin Klein and FKA Twigs. Marv Studios, co-founded by Matthew Vaughn, also has a stake in True Brit.
Launched with an ambition to focus exclusively on British feature films and TV, True Brit has distributed titles including Giant, Marching Powder, and Sunny Dancer.
In a statement shared with Deadline, Kamasa said: “In extremely challenging market conditions, the company has taken the difficult decision to enter administration.
“An independent specialist has now been appointed to oversee the company and assess the options available, with the aim of achieving the best possible outcome for the company and its creditors.”
The UK administration process is similar to Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but unlike in the U.S., where directors remain in control of the business, Simons Muirhead Burton will take charge of True Brit’s operations and attempt to restructure the company financially so it can pay creditors.
Kamasa has previously served as Lionsgate UK and Europe’s CEO and Marv Studios Group CEO. He has worked on the release of more than 40 British titles, including Bend It Like Beckham, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Brooklyn, Eddie the Eagle, and The Father.

Hulu’s expansion of the Mormon Wives universe has been dated.
The streamer will launch The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County on November 12.
The spinoff of the controversial reality series features Jen Affleck from the original as well as podcaster Bobbi Althoff and McCall DaPron, sister of Mayci Neeley, one of the original stars. Others include Ashleigh Pease, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Jordan McClanahan, Madison Bontempo and Salomé Andrea.
It comes at a difficult time for the franchise as the women from the original series are feuding, largely over whether Taylor Frankie Paul, who was set to headline The Bachelorette before it was pulled after a video of a domestic assault incident emerged.
Paul herself recently revealed that she doesn’t want to continue on the show, which has been picked up for an additional 20 episodes, ostensibly seasons six and seven.
Earlier this month, cast member Mikayla Matthews said that she “will not be continuing the show at this moment” with a series of social media posts that seemed to imply it was because of Paul’s return.
Cast members Mayci Neeley and Layla Taylor also seemed to support Matthews. “I am finishing this current season that we are filming and then not sure for after that,” Neeley posted to TikTok.
Hulu will be hoping that the Orange County spinoff can give the franchise a shot in the arm
Producer Jeff Jenkins told Deadline that it was planning for spinoffs.
“Mormons are fascinating. It’s a fascinating subculture. Because we’re talking about docuseries, we’re not talking about format, what’s going to lead the way? The shining star, the guiding light is going to be the personalities,” he said.
The series is produced by Jeff Jenkins Productions, in association with 3BMG and Walt Disney Television Alternative. Jenkins exec produces alongside Russell Jay-Staglik, Amanda Weinstein, Melissa Bidwell and Brandon Beck at Jeff Jenkins Productions, Ross Weintraub and Reinout Oerlemans at 3BMG and Georgia Berger, Lisa Filipelli and Danielle Pistotnik at Select Entertainment.
