A Rising Star’s New Chapter in Hollywood

From Dance Floor to Daredevil’s Spotlight

Genneya Walton has inked a management deal with Strand Entertainment, signaling the next chapter in her ascent as a dynamic force in entertainment. Best known for her razor-sharp portrayal of BB Urich—the quick-witted reporter tied to Ben Urich in Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again—Walton’s performance played a pivotal role in securing the show’s second-season renewal before its premiere even aired.

But her range extends far beyond the comic-book universe. Walton has been a series regular on Netflix’s #BlackAF and Project Mc², both crafted by Kenya Barris and Rashida Jones. She also charmed audiences in the supernatural teen comedy Darby and the Dead (produced by Storm Reid) and Amazon’s holiday hit Candy Cane Lane, sharing the screen with Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross. Her credits further include Never Have I Ever, Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller Extant alongside Halle Berry, and the high-stakes emergency drama 9-1-1, where she collaborated with Angela Bassett.

A Star Forged in Early Beginnings

Walton’s journey ignited at age six, rooted in dance. Early exposure to A-list stages—performing with Janet Jackson on her comeback tour, gracing the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, The X Factor, and the Radio Disney Music Awards—cemented her foundation. Trained in XMA and film stunts, she’s mastered the art of physicality, opening doors to roles that demand both grit and grace.

Behind the Scenes: Powerhouse Representation

With Strand Entertainment now at the helm for management, Walton’s team is rounded out by Paradigm (talent services), Align Public Relations, and attorney Sloane P. Whiteside-Munteanu of Del Shaw Moonves—each a pillar in her rise.

The stage is set. The spotlight waits. Genneya Walton isn’t just stepping into the future—she’s redefining it.
