2012–2018: Career beginnings Free began her career in 2012 with small television roles in
Mr Stink and
Endeavour, and a small part in the British coming-of-age drama
Broken. In 2014, Free was cast as
Myrcella Baratheon in
Game of Thrones, replacing
Aimee Richardson. Prior to her audition, Free had never seen the show; when talking about the role, she said: "I mean, it's every girls dream to play a princess and the dresses were fantastic." In 2017, she joined the cast of
Too Old to Die Young, a television series by
Nicolas Winding Refn.
2019–present: International breakthrough In August 2018, Free was cast as Leanne Grayson in
M. Night Shyamalan's television series
Servant. The show received widespread critical acclaim, including from the likes of
Stephen King, and Free's performance was lauded alongside the show's other lead cast members
Lauren Ambrose and
Rupert Grint. Free made her shift to more movie roles with the 2021 film
Settlers, where she played the older version of
Brooklynn Prince's character as part of a family who are among the first settlers of
Mars. The film premiered at the
Tribeca Film Festival. In August 2022, she was cast as Margaret in the 2024 horror film
The First Omen, marking her first lead role in a feature film. She said in 2024, "M. Night [Shyamalan] definitely nourished me to be able to come and do roles like this. I always say I don't think I could have played Margaret when I was 19. I couldn't have walked on and done it in the way that, hopefully, I've done it now." == Personal life ==
