Early life

[edit]

Gething was born in the East London Borough of Redbridge and grew up in Barking.[2] She participated in school productions from a young age.[3] She planned to study psychology at university, but made the decision to leave her sixth form college early before completing her A Levels when her career began to take off.[4]

Career

[edit]

Gething first began performing as a comedy artist and content creator on social media in 2016, writing and performing sketches to over 7 million followers across YouTube and Musical.ly (later TikTok).[5] She was approached by the BBC in mid-2018[6] and invited to create a female-led comedy sketch show, which eventually became The Amelia Gething Complex.

The first season of The Amelia Gething Complex was released in October 2019, with a second season commissioned by the BBC[7] released in March 2021. In total, there have been 18 episodes over the course of two seasons.[8]

In 2020, Gething played Ursula Pole in the second installment of the Starz historical drama The Spanish Princess. It was announced in 2021 that Gething had been cast as Anne Brontë in Frances O'Connor's biographical film Emily alongside Emma Mackey, Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Fionn Whitehead, directed by Frances O'Connor.[9] The cast were jointly nominated for Best Ensemble Performance at the 2022 British Independent Film Awards.[10]

In 2023, it was revealed Gething had voiced the player character in the video game Hogwarts Legacy.[11] She has upcoming roles in the Sky Atlantic historical drama Mary & George, the Apple TV+ war drama Masters of the Air, the Belgian series The Phoebus Files, and the vampire film Blood & Ink with Malcolm McDowell and Derek Jacobi.[12]
