Murdered by My Boyfriend was a BBC Three drama that aired on the channel in 2014. It was based on a true crime story but with names changed. Georgina Campbell played Ashley Jones, a young victim of domestic abuse. The 60-minute drama follows Ashley Jones’s life, beginning when she meets and begins dating Reece (portrayed by Royce Pierreson). 

After several successful attempts at emotionally manipulating Ashley, Reece began physically assaulting her. Although Ashley breaks up with him for a while, he finds his way back into her life. Reece eventually kills Ashley by beating her to death with an ironing board in front of their daughter. Campbell, alongside Pierreson, received special praise for their performances.

Krypton

Another production where many television audiences might recognize Georgina Campbell from is the Syfy science fiction series Krypton. With the series set approximately 200 years before the birth of Kal-El/Superman, Campbell was cast as Lyta-Zod. The character was a Primus in the Kryptonian military guild. She was a commander of the Sagitari and the daughter of Jayna-Zod (Ann Ogbomo). 

Lyta-Zod was also in a secret romantic relationship with Seg-El, the father of Jor-El and the future grandfather of Kal-El. Krypton was canceled after 2 seasons. Although reception was mixed to average, it had an impressive viewership because of its connection to Superman. Krypton originally aired on Syfy from March 21, 2018, to August 14, 2019.

Barbarian 

Georgina Campbell led the cast of Zach Cregger’s 2022 horror thriller Barbarian. The movie was the director’s solo feature directorial debut. In Barbarian, Campbell played Tess Marshall, a young woman renting a rundown Detroit neighborhood of Brightmoor. She arrives in town for a job interview the next day but discovers the rental house has already been occupied by someone else, Keith Toshiko (Bill Skarsgård). As the movie’s events unfold, Tess and Keith soon discover the house holds dark secrets that have haunted every occupant since the original owner lived there. As the movie’s protagonist, Campbell’s character survives the gory attacks and creature known as “The Mother.”

Suspicion

Suspicion was one of the Apple TV+ series that fell short of expectations. Although not entirely panned by critics, it survived on mixed to average reviews. Although it was short-lived, having only aired for a single season, it is still one production where audiences might have seen Georgina Campbell. Cast as Natalie Thompson, Campbell is joined by Kunal Nayyar, Elyes Gabel, Elizabeth Henstridge, and Angel Coulby. American actress Uma Thurman also played Katherine Newman, an American media mogul whose son Leonardo Newman (Gerran Howell) is kidnapped. Three men and two women, including Campbell’s character, become the prime suspects in the kidnapping. So far, Suspicion has been Georgina Campbell’s last project on television.

Bird Box Barcelona

Netflix’s 2023 post-apocalyptic horror thriller Bird Box Barcelona is another movie audiences may have seen Georgina Campbell. With the success of the 2018 movie starring Sandra Bullock, Bird Box Barcelona was created as a spin-off. However, rather than a change of story or timeline, it centered on the same post-apocalyptic events of the first movie but happening in Barcelona. Campbell played Claire, an English psychiatrist and one of those who survived by going to Montjuïc Castle, a safe haven. 

T.I.M.

In T.I.M., Georgina Campbell played Abi, a Prosthetics engineer. In the Netflix science fiction thriller, Abi and her husband, Paul (Mark Rowley), move to start life afresh after she gets a high-level position at Integrate Robotics. As part of the perks of the new job and position, she’s given a humanoid AI robot, pre-programmed to serve her. 

The robot, T.I.M. (Technologically.Integrated.Manservant), soon becomes destructively obsessed with Abi. Australian actor Eamon Farren played and voiced the character of T.I.M. Georgina Campbell, who also led the cast of the 2023 American horror film Lovely, Dark, and Deep. Although it didn’t get much publicity, the movie was her last credit in 2023, before appearing in the 2024 The Watchers movie.
