In January the actress made Essence magazine’s 20 Young Black Hollywood stars To Watch in 2021 alongside actress and activist Nomzamo Mbatha, taking the 16th spot on the list. The list features personalities and celebrities making waves in the US.

Thuso has recently been cast to make an appearance on The Underground Railroad limited series directed by Barry Jenkins, based on Colson Whitehead’s award-winning novel of the same name.

The 10 episode series follows Thuso Mbedu as Cora Randall, searching for freedom as she escapes a Georgia plantation and heads to the rumored Underground Railroad. Cora discovers the metaphoric railroad is an actual railroad full of engineers and conductors, and a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the southern soil.
