From The Weeknd’s 2016 False Alarm music video to her breakout roles in last year’s Apostle and Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, Kristine Froseth’s film and TV projects have amassed huge popularity – and her new ones look set to follow suit. This year alone, she starred in Low Tide, Prey and Netflix’s The Society, which will return for a sophomore season in 2020. But it’s Hulu’s long-awaited Looking for Alaska that is most special to the 23-year-old actress.

Set in 2005 and based on John Green’s beloved novel, Looking for Alaska follows the story of Miles Halter (a.k.a. Pudge), whose life is changed forever after meeting the enigmatic Alaska Young at Culver Creek Prep in Alabama. Through friendship, pain, love and grief (and following François​ Rabelais’s last words) the characters in the book seek “a great perhaps”. Froseth definitely found her own in Alaska Young.
