THE YEAR’S BREAKOUT STARS

Rhea Seehorn

Since a handful of lines in the Better Call Saul pilot, the riveting, nuanced Seehorn has become the most important, adored performer on the best show on TV. Better protect Kim!

Elle Fanning

The former child star very much lived up to the title of Hulu’s The Great as a proud, pained, hilarious version of Catherine the Great.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

The novice actor beat out 15,000 contenders in an open casting call for Netflix’s Mindy Kaling-created Never Have I Ever, doing versatile, vulnerable work as a teen outcast.
