Early life

Weaving was born in Adelaide on 23 February 1992,[2] the daughter of an English father, Simon Weaving, and Maltese mother, Helena Bezzina.[3] She grew up in Singapore, Fiji, Australia, and Indonesia.[4] Her father is a filmmaker and lecturer at the University of Newcastle in Newcastle, New South Wales,[5] as well as the artistic director of the Canberra International Film Festival. Her mother is an art therapist who teaches museum studies at the University of Newcastle.[5] Her younger sister, Morgan, is also an actress; their uncle is actor Hugo Weaving.[4][6]

Weaving and her family moved to Canberra in 2005, and she attended Canberra Girls Grammar School.[7] She became vice drama captain and appeared in various school and theatre productions.[7]

Career

Weaving made her screen debut in 2008, being cast as Kirsten Mulroney in the Australian soap opera Out of the Blue when she was 16.[8] The series was well received, but it was not commissioned for a second season.[9] She then relocated from Canberra to Sydney to play Indigo "Indi" Walker in the Australian soap opera Home and Away.[7] While initially cast in a recurring capacity, she was later brought into the main cast, playing the character from 2009 to 2013.[9][10] Weaving described the experience as difficult, comparing it to a "machine".[11] She was nominated for Best Female Performance at the AACTA Awards in 2012.[12][13]

Weaving began modelling for Australian underwear brand Bonds in 2012.[14] In 2013, Weaving appeared in the crime film Mystery Road, alongside her uncle Hugo.[15][16] She played the recurring role of Heather in the comedy horror series Ash vs Evil Dead in 2015,[17] earning attention after a picture of her in a make-up test was used in a hoax.[18][19] Also in 2015, she appeared in the comedy web series Squirrel Boys.[20][21] The following year, she appeared in the action comedy Monster Trucks as Brianne. She was cast in the film during her first trip to Los Angeles in 2014.[22][23]In 2017, Weaving starred in the action comedy-thriller Mayhem, which saw her co-star with Steven Yeun and playing the role of Melanie Cross.[24][25][26] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com compared her to Margot Robbie and called her "captivating and a little scary at the same time".[27] She also played the girlfriend of John Hawkes in the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, for which she was nominated for numerous awards with the acting ensemble,[28] and the title character in the comedy-horror film The Babysitter. She also appeared in the music video for Charlie Puth's song "Attention".[29][30]

From 2017 to 2019, she played Nelson Rose in the Showtime series SMILF.[28] In December 2018, it was announced that Weaving was leaving the show after the second season.[31] Weaving asked to be released from her contract after making a complaint about having to perform a nude sex scene. Daniel Holloway of Variety reported that Weaving felt uncomfortable with the behaviour of show creator and co-star Frankie Shaw during a similar sex scene in the first season, leading to an investigation of alleged misconduct by Shaw, which found that there was no wrongdoing on Shaw's part.[31] Also in 2018, Weaving appeared in the Picnic at Hanging Rock miniseries as one of three students who disappear during a school trip to the titular Hanging Rock.[32]

Weaving next starred as Grace in the 2019 comedy-horror film Ready or Not, which was her first leading role in a theatrical American film.[33] The film marks her first collaboration with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who described her as "just one of those people that we’ll be friends with forever. She’s one of our favorites."[34] The film and her performance received positive reviews[35] and helped to establish her as a scream queen.[36][37][38] Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times called her "fantastic" and wrote that she "gives heart to this efficiently blood-drenched harpooning of soul-sucking greed and inbred family values."[39] Simran Hans of The Guardian believed that her performance would earn a cult following.[40] Also in 2019, she starred in the action comedy Guns Akimbo.[41]

In 2020, Weaving headlined the drama thriller Last Moment of Clarity,[42] reprised her titular role in The Babysitter: Killer Queen,[43] and appeared in the science-fiction comedy Bill & Ted Face the Music.[44] She also starred in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix miniseries Hollywood as the love interest of lead David Corenswet.[citation needed] The next year, she played Scarlett in the G.I. Joe spinoff Snake Eyes,[45] and Jessica in the Hulu drama series Nine Perfect Strangers, which is based on the novel of the same name by Liane Moriarty.[46][47] Also in 2021, she was cast in the action comedy film Boy Kills World, but exited the project due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by Jessica Rothe.[48][49]

In 2022, Weaving starred alongside Eugenio Derbez in the 2022 romantic comedy The Valet, which is a remake of the 2006 French film of the same name.[50] Also in 2022, she played Constance Moore in Damien Chazelle's polarizing[51] period drama film Babylon and Marie-Josephine de Montalembert in the biographical film Chevalier.[52][53] That same year, she joined the cast of Scream VI.[54] Her second film with Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett, it was released theatrically in March 2023 and became the highest-grossing film of its franchise.[55]

Weaving was announced in 2022 to lead the action horror film Azrael as the titular character.[56][57] It premiered at South by Southwest in March 2024, and was released in theatres and on Shudder in September 2024.[58][59] Also in 2024, she had a voice role in the Australian film 200% Wolf.[60]

Weaving starred in and executive produced the Netflix pilot Little Sky in 2023,[61] which ultimately did not go to series.[62] She was also cast in Jimmy Warden's comedy-thriller Borderline,[63] Adam Leon's biopic Liz,[64] and an unnamed limited television series based on the Holly Madison memoir Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny.[65] She reprised the role of Grace in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,[66] and star in the Netflix horror-comedy Over Your Dead Body, which is an English-language remake of the Norwegian thriller I Onde Dager.[67]

Public image

Throughout her career, Weaving has starred in various film genres, primarily horror films, including Ready or Not, Mayhem, The Babysitter and its sequel, Scream VI, Azrael, and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come; consequently, she became known as a scream queen.[68][69][70][71][72] Filmmakers Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, who directed her in Ready or Not, Ready or Not 2, and Scream VI, stated that Weaving is "one of our favorites" and her presence in Scream VI inspired them to "have fun with her role" and use the "level of excitement [from the fandom] surrounding her involvement [in the film]", declaring that "she has the best scream in the world!".[73] Kevin McCall of Collider stated that "Weaving continues to solidify herself as an icon of the [horror] genre".[74]

In 2019, analyzing Weaving's career path for The Sydney Morning Herald, Elaine Lipworth wrote that she "is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of Hollywood's most exciting young talents".[75]

Weaving has appeared in magazines such as Harper's Bazaar[76] and Women's Health.[77]

Personal life

Weaving has been in a relationship with writer Jimmy Warden since meeting him on the set of The Babysitter.[78] They announced their engagement on 10 March 2019[79] and married that same year. As her film career flourished, she relocated to Los Angeles.[1][80] In December 2025, Weaving announced she was pregnant with her first child.[81] Weaving gave birth to their first child in 2026.[82]

Samara Weaving is an avid video game enthusiast. In a promotional interview for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, she discussed her interest in several gaming franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy, and Mortal Kombat.[83] She has also stated that she used a gaming console and played the Gran Turismo series to prepare for her role as a getaway driver in the film Eenie Meanie.[84]
