Jeanne Goursaud, our French-German powerhouse, is stomping her way across the global Netflix scene! With her gripping performances and no-nonsense attitude, she's dismantling barriers and leaving a trail of action-packed series in her wake.
Exterritorial - A Consulate Showdown
In a spectacular display of ass-kicking on-screen frenzy, "Exterritorial" is currently dominating the film charts in 85 countries, including the USA, UK, and Germany. Jeanne stars as Sara Wulf, a former Special Forces soldier on a seek-and-destroy mission to rescue her missing son in the U.S. consulate in Frankfurt, all while dressed in a "Die Hard"-inspired white undershirt. This German thriller is more than just your average action flick; it's a bone-crunching masterpiece that you won't forget anytime soon.
From Barbarians to Most Wanted
Before making waves as Sara Wulf, Jeanne captured international attention with her fierce performance in the German-produced series "Barbarians." She played the role of Thusnelda, the wife of Cherusker chief Arminius, decked out in martial attire. And let's just say, it wasn't a walk in the park.
But things really took off with "Dearest Child" (2023), a crime thriller that became the most streamed non-English language Netflix series in its first two weeks, winning the International Emmy Award for Best Mini-Series. Jeanne played kidnapping victim Lena Beck, showing off her chops in the gritty underbelly of criminal intrigue.
Bilingual Background - A Ticket to Success?
Born on April 4, 1996, in Pinneberg to a French father and German mother, Jeanne's bilingual upbringing seems to have played a key role in her international success. At a young age, she attended a children's acting school in Hamburg and made her TV debut in "Neues aus Büttenwarder" in 2012. Since then, she's appeared in numerous TV shows and films, showcasing her versatility and passion for the craft.
Jeanne can be seen in series beyond Netflix, including the Warner TV series "Para - Wir sind King" and the French series "Blood Coast" on the streaming service, where she plays a tough drug enforcement officer in Marseille. Her path to international stardom is no accident - she's proven herself time and again in various genres and languages.
Future Projects - Kabul and Beyond
Her next big project is "Kabul," a French series filmed in Greece in 2024. Jeanne has one of the lead roles, playing an Afghanistan veteran in a story set during the August 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The series' themes align with Jeanne's recent portrayal of a veteran struggling with PTSD in "Exterritorial," hinting at a potential continuation of her action-packed legacy.
So buckle up, folks! Jeanne Goursaud isn't slowing down anytime soon. Get ready for more badass performances and high-octane action, as she continues to conquer the Netflix world and beyond!
