NICOLA COUGHLAN
AT CANNESERIES
FOR THE KONBINI COMMITMENT AWARD 2025
For the fifth year in a row, Konbini, a committed and cultural media outlet since 2008 and official partner of CANNESERIES, has awarded talent who have distinguished themselves by the artistic quality and societal, innovative and/or revolutionary dimension of their work.
This year, the Konbini Commitment Award will be given to Nicola Coughlan who is most recognisable as Penelope Bridgerton/Lady Whistledown in Netflix’s record-breaking series, Bridgerton. Nicola was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role and Bridgerton was nominated in the Ensemble in a Drama Series Award. The Commitment Award will be given by Konbini on Monday, April 28th on the stage of the Lumiere Theater in the Palais des Festivals et des Congrés.
Nicola Coughlan is also well-known for her role as Clare Devlin in the award-winning hit comedy series, Derry Girls, set in Northern Ireland in the 1990s during the end of The Troubles.
Following this, Nicola played Diplomat Barbie in Greta Gerwig’s ground-breaking blockbuster, Barbie. Last year she starred in Big Mood opposite Lydia West. It’s just been announced that the critically acclaimed show will return for a highly anticipated second series. Nicola was most recently seen in the Doctor Who Christmas special. She will next be seen as Silky the woodland fairy in the upcoming adaptation of Enid Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree alongside Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy.
An exceptional conversation open to all, on Monday April 28th, moderated by Delphine Rivet, series critic and journalist of Konbini.
The 8th season of CANNESERIES, the international Series Festival of Cannes, will take place from April 24th to 29th.
