Agnes O’Casey

Photographed by Jeremy Jakubowicz

Agnes O’Casey is an English actress, born in London and trained at the Lir Academy in Dublin; she is the great-granddaughter of the Irish playwright Seán O’Casey. Revealed in 2021 by the lead role in Ridley Road on BBC One, she went on to The Miracle Club, Small Things Like These and Lies We Tell, which won her the 2024 IFTA for Lead Actress in Film. In 2026 she plays Irina Morozova in Star City, Apple TV’s space-race series.

On 26 April 2026, the day Star City had its world premiere at Canneseries, Jeremy Jakubowicz photographed Agnes O’Casey in a private session at the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic. In a black cut-out dress, she poses on a terrace facing the sea and the harbour, in black and white and then in colour, before a backlit window, the hotel corridor and a mirrored staircase that multiplies her silhouette.

During the same festival, Jeremy Jakubowicz also photographed Mitchell Robertson, star of Half Man, and Hiba Bennani, a member of the jury. Every year in Cannes he covers the Cannes Film Festival, where he photographed Renate Reinsve and Noah Schnapp in 2026.
