Meet Thuso Mbedu: the breakout star of The Underground Railroad
The eagerly-awaited TV adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel arrives this week Courtesy For the entirety of our talk, I keep wondering if Thuso Mbedu is aware that in probably less than a weeks’ time her entire life is about to change. Although already an established (and award-winning) star in her native South Africa, her leading role as runaway slave Cora in the eagerly-awaited
The Underground Railroad is about to explode her internationally.
She sits in her LA apartment, a self-effacing grin visible between her bucket hat, and seems relaxed and unfazed. It seems entirely fitting for a woman who effectively accidentally auditioned for the role of a lifetime.

Thuso Mbedu continues to do South Africa proud as she stars alongside multi-award winning actress Viola Davis in
The Woman King, a film directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.
After being featured on Essence Magazine as the new face to watch, she also bagged her first cover feature in the US with Emmy Magazine.
In an interview with Candice Frederick, the Emmy Award-nominee speaks about the road that led to
The Underground Railroad, an American series where she plays Cora.
