Simone Ashley to be Honored at Monte-Carlo Television Festival

Simone Ashley will receive this year’s International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent award from the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. The British actress, who is best known for playing Kate Sharma in the extremely popular Netflix drama Bridgerton, will be presented with the award at the festival’s opening ceremony on June 14.

Ashley has had a meteoric rise in recent years after breaking through in Netflix’s beloved British teen drama Sex Education. The actress has featured in a number of high profile Hollywood projects, including a key supporting role in Disney’s recent live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and a lead role in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios feature Picture This. Ashley will reprise her role as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton when the highly anticipated third season debuts in May.

“We are extremely proud to have created a special award at our Festival to highlight a new talent on the international stage,” Cécile Menoni, executive director of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, said in a statement. “Simone shot to global fame in Shonda Rhimes’ hit show Bridgerton on Netflix and her exceptional screen presence makes her a very worthy winner.”

Previous winners of the International Golden Nymph for Most Promising Talent award include Argentine actress Julia de Nunez and French actor Théo Christine.
