The talent highlighted in Variety’s Young Hollywood Impact Report all made a splash in the last year in the worlds of film, television, music, theater and digital, and will be celebrated at an event Aug. 8. After last year’s strikes, the next gen stars are happy to be back on the set. Freya Allan says the best part of working on “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is “getting to work with such a grounded, lovely bunch of actors. Despite being such a big budget movie, it really felt so intimate and there wasn’t any feeling of hierarchy we were all just doing what we love.”

Busy as they are, there’s always room for binging. “I’m a bit shite when it comes to catching new movies, but I am getting better at it! Loving ‘The Bear’ right now, and I massively enjoyed ‘Baby Reindeer’ earlier this year,” says Up Next actor Solly McLeod. “I’ve been recommended ‘Severance’ on Apple TV by so many people, so that’s next on my list.”

“When I sit back and look at what’s happening, it really, truly blows my mind,” says musician Benson Boone about his success — and although the people on this list worked hard to get there, they know the journey is just beginning.
