Top 10 Breakout Stars of 20213 of 10
8. Brianne Howey
Several of this year's Breakout Stars have hit Netflix shows to thank for their sharp rise on IMDb's STARmeter — Brianne Howey's major 2021 moment came with the release of highly binge-able series, "Ginny & Georgia," which some fans liken to "Gilmore Girls." Released on streaming in February, the series follows 15-year-old Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and her carefree mom, Georgia (Howey) as they move to a new town and navigate issues of racial identity as well as the dynamics of their loving but complicated relationship. Howey nails the balance of a charismatic outward persona tempered by an undertone of sadness and secrecy, and we can't wait for her return as Georgia in Season 2, coming in 2022.
