A Rising Star’s New Chapter in Hollywood

Genneya Walton has just signed a management deal with Strand Entertainment, marking the next step in her growing career. The actress is best known for her role as BB Urich, a sharp‑witted reporter linked to the New York Bulletin’s Ben Urich, in the second season of Marvel’s “Daredevil: Born Again. ” Her performance helped the show earn a second‑season renewal even before its first season wrapped up. Walton’s résumé stretches beyond the superhero genre. She has been a series regular on Netflix’s “#BlackAF” and “Project Mc², ” both created by Kenya Barris and Rashida Jones. She also appeared in the supernatural teen comedy “Darby and the Dead, ” produced by Storm Reid, as well as Amazon’s holiday film “Candy Cane Lane” alongside Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross. Other notable credits include recurring parts in “Never Have I Ever, ” Steven Spielberg’s “Extant” opposite Halle Berry, and the emergency‑services drama “9‑1‑1, ” where she worked with Angela Bassett.

Her journey into entertainment began at the tender age of six, starting with dance. Walton’s early exposure to big‑name events—performing with Janet Jackson on her comeback tour, appearing at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, The X Factor, and the Radio Disney Music Awards—laid a strong foundation. She is also trained in XMA and film stunts, skills that have broadened her on‑screen opportunities. Walton’s representation now includes Strand Entertainment for management, Paradigm for talent services, Align Public Relations, and attorney Sloane P. Whiteside‑Munteanu of Del Shaw Moonves.
