Career
[edit]Watson's first acting appearance was in a short film in London when she was 5 years old. The six-minute film Who Are You? was commissioned by Somerset House.[2] After this she auditioned for the second series of television drama The Missing and was cast in the role of Lucy. The series was first screened in the UK in October 2016 and was a critical success.[3]
Her next role was in the crime drama Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. She played the young Eurus Holmes (as "Little Eurus"), Sherlock's younger sister, winning praise for her performance from the Daily Express.[4]
She spent three months filming the espionage thriller Deep State in Morocco and Southern England. The eight-part series was released in April 2018.[5][circular reference]
Watson's first performance in a leading role was in the BFI-funded psychological horror short film Martyrs Lane, written and directed by Ruth Platt. This was followed by her second leading role in the short independent film Nurtured. In April 2019 it was announced that Watson had been cast alongside Jim Broadbent, Sally Hawkins, Kristen Wiig, Toby Jones and Maggie Smith in A Boy Called Christmas, a feature film adaptation of the novel by Matt Haig about the origins of Father Christmas.[6]
Filming began in August 2019 for The Electrical Life of Louis Wain in which Watson plays Young Felicie Wain.
In October 2019 she performed on stage with the punk group The Damned at the London Palladium for A Night of a Thousand Vampires.[7] The concert was released as a film in October 2022.
In November 2019 she appeared as Charlotte Day in BBC drama miniseries Gold Digger with Julia Ormond and Ben Barnes.
Watson was cast in Marjane Satrapi's film Radioactive as the young Irene Curie; the film was originally due out in cinemas in spring 2020. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic its release was delayed until the summer when it was released on Amazon Prime Video.[8] Watson received praise for her role from the London Evening Standard.[9]
In 2020 Watson narrated the audiobook Moojag and the Auticode Secret by N.E. McMorran.[10]
Adapted for television by David Farr from John Wyndham's 1957 novel of the same name,The Midwich Cuckoos was released in June 2022. Watson played the character of Evie Stone in this sci-fi drama series.[11] Watson spent six months living in Barcelona during 2022 while filming the Netflix series Who Is Erin Carter? with Evin Ahmad and Sean Teale.[12] She played Erin Carter’s troubled daughter, Harper. Her performance drew praise from The Guardian who described Watson as "a preternaturally gifted actor".[13][14] The series premiered on Netflix on 24 August 2023, going on to be the most watched Netflix show in the world the following week.[15]
