Teyana Taylor lit up the screen in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another as Perfidia Beverly Hills. Her gripping performance drew strong critical praise, earning a 2026 Oscar nomination. Although Amy Madigan ultimately took home the Oscar, Taylor's magnetic breakout sets the stage for her to shatter expectations in upcoming roles.

With her directorial debut, Get Lite, Taylor dives into NYC’s Litefeet dance scene, starring Storm Reid, with Kenya Barris backing her vision. She is also set to voice a key role in Sundance winner Jeron Braxton’s animated dystopia, Slime, joining Willow Smith, Anna Sawai and LaKeith Stanfield in a wild tale of superpowers gone rogue.

Further, she is stepping into music legend Dionne Warwick’s shoes for a biopic, earning rave compliments from the icon herself. Apart from OBAA, her Hulu series All’s Fair has also shattered streaming records as the platform’s biggest scripted debut in three years, securing Season 2.

Finally, she has 72 Hours on the list, which brings comedy vibes as she crashes a Miami bachelor party gone haywire alongside Kevin Hart, under Tim Story’s direction, another Netflix romp primed for laughs.

Even if she did not get the statuette, One Battle After Another just swept the 98th Academy Awards.
