One of the best things about Hollywood is that it discovers new talents for us to enjoy every day. Not all are ephemeral (some are), and those faces that we discover in series and movies sometimes end up being big stars.
With the intention of discovering some of those hidden gems, we have created this list of young promises of cinema and series so that you are aware of what is cooking. Of course, we are going to leave out the most obvious actors and actresses like Timothée Chalamet, ZendayaAnya Taylor-Joy, Elle Fanning, Florence Pugh or Tom Holland, who are no longer young promises but stars who are rocking it, and we are going to talk to you about some lesser known ones.
