Abigail Thorn is set to make history as the first transgender star in the Star Wars franchise. The British actress is set to play Ensign Eurus in the upcoming spinoff series The Acolyte, which will be featured on Disney+.
The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller set in the last days of the High Republic era, and the cast will include Jodie Turner-Smith, Lee Jung-jae, and Dafne Keen. It was created by Leslye Headland, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her series Russian Doll.
Abigail is already a popular YouTuber, with her channel Philosophy Tube having over 1.4 million subscribers. Last year, she took to the platform to come out as a transgender woman, and shared her new name, pronouns, and story in a 40-minute video that has now been viewed nearly 3 million times.
In addition to her YouTube career, Abigail has also starred in theatre show The Prince and TV series Django. She expressed her joy at finally feeling at home in herself in a public statement, saying, "It's so lovely to finally know, to finally relax, to sleep well with sweet dreams and be at home in myself."
The Agency have contacted Disney+ for comment, and we hope to hear more soon. We'll be sure to keep you updated! In the meantime, check out our other celebrity stories!
