Georgia King, the talented Scottish actress, began her on-screen journey with a modest supporting role in the 2006 BBC miniseries Jane Eyre. Not long after, Georgia King continued building her early career with appearances in two television movies in 2007: The History of Mr. Polly and The Shadow in the North. The latter, based on a novel by Philip Pullman, also featured Billie Piper and Matt Smith, adding some star power to Georgia King’s growing resume.
By 2008, Georgia King had stepped into a more prominent role—this time in the feature film Wild Child, a teen comedy starring Emma Roberts. In the film, Georgia King played the memorable part of Roberts’ arch-rival at an elite English boarding school, showcasing her knack for playing sharp, confident characters. That same year, she appeared in another period piece, The Duchess, which boasted a stellar cast including Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, and Charlotte Rampling. But it was her role in the BBC’s acclaimed miniseries Little Dorrit (2008) that gave Georgia King a meatier part, portraying Pet Meagles in this all-star adaptation.
In 2009, Georgia King took on a very different kind of role—this time in the horror thriller Tormented, where she played a snobbish teenager who, rather infamously, becomes the first victim of a vengeful zombie spirit. It was a gory but memorable turn. Also in 2009, Georgia King found herself back in a boarding school setting, this time across the Atlantic in her first U.S. film, Tanner Hall, where she starred alongside Rooney Mara.
She then joined John Landis’ return to horror-comedy with Burke & Hare (2010), a darkly comedic take on the infamous grave robbers. Following that, Georgia King appeared in the lighthearted romantic comedy Chalet Girl (2011), further demonstrating her range. Her next roles included parts in the romantic drama One Day (2011), the cheeky horror-comedy Cockneys vs. Zombies (2012), and the Jane Austen-inspired romp Austenland (2012).
During this busy stretch, Georgia King made a significant move into American television with a recurring role on the NBC sitcom The New Normal (2012–2013), where she played the surrogate mother for a gay couple—a role that brought both heart and humor to the series. After a stint in the satirical black comedy Kill Your Friends (2015), Georgia King returned to U.S. TV in a major way, co-starring in the HBO comedy series Vice Principals (2016–), further cementing her presence on the international stage.
Throughout her career, Georgia King has consistently taken on diverse and dynamic roles, steadily evolving from small supporting parts to compelling performances on both screen and television.
When it comes to Georgia King’s filmography, fans and critics alike often point to First One In (2020) as her standout performance—this movie stands out as Georgia King’s highest rated film by a noticeable margin. Over the years, Georgia King has taken on a variety of roles, showcasing her range and depth as an actress. While not every project has received equal acclaim, it’s clear that Georgia King continues to make thoughtful choices in her career. On the other end of the spectrum, Tanner Hall (2009) is generally regarded as Georgia King’s lowest rated movie, though it still holds significance as an early role in her journey. Through both highs and lows, Georgia King remains a compelling presence on screen, and audiences continue to follow Georgia King’s evolving path in cinema.
