Sophie Thatcher

Sophie Thatcher (birthname: Sophie Bathsheba Thatcher) is a young actor who has drawn attention to her characteristically intense performances, particularly in Showtime’s hit series, Yellowjackets (2021-present). After two years of TV work, Thatcher landed her debut feature role (with the rarity for a newbie of her name above the title and face on the poster) as co-star in writers-directors Zeek Earl’s and Chris Caldwell’s indie sci-fi drama, Prospect (2018), co-starring Pedro Pascal and Jay Duplass, premiering at the South by Southwest festival and scoring an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Thatcher next appeared in a supporting role in debuting writer-director Noble Jones’s The Tomorrow Man (2019), co-starring John Lithgow and Blythe Danner, with Katie Aselton and Eve Harlow, and premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. Landing her second starring role in only her third feature, Thatcher starred alongside Chris Messina, Vivien Lyra Blair, and David Dastmalchian in the Rob Savage-directed horror film, The Boogeyman (2023), based on Stephen King’s short story, released by 20^th Century Studios.

Thatcher took on a cameo role in Ti West’s horror sequel, MaXXXine (2024), starring Mia Goth and with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Debicki, and released by A24 to a $22 million global return. Thatcher had a strong co-starring role in another horror movie, with directors/writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ Heretic (2024), with Hugh Grant, Chloe East, and Topher Grace, grossing $52 million for A24.

Thatcher’s next starring role was again in the horror genre, with first-time writer-director Drew Hancock, in Companion  (2025), co-starring Rupert Friend, Harvey Guillén, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, and Jack Quaid, and co-produced by New Line Cinema, BoulderLight Pictures, and Vertigo Entertainment. Thatcher also served as an executive producer on her sister Emma’s feature drama, Provo (2022), which premiered at the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
