Mimi Keene: The Sex Education star's impressive career so far
The Netflix show wasn't her first hit!
With the fourth and final season of Sex Education officially landing, not only are we obsessing over the popular Netflix series all over again, but also starring actress Mimi Keene, who plays the role of Ruby Matthews! But her infamous role on the show isn't the only place you may have spotted Mimi before, with her career flourishing from a young age.
Before the 25-year-old graced our screens as Ruby, who pulled on our heart-strings in Sex Education's third and fourth seasons with her, Otis and Maeve's love triangle, Mimi appeared in many other TV shows and films, including Our Girl and EastEnders. Take a look through her impressive career so far...
Mimi Keene: What else has the actress appeared in?
2013 - School for Stars
Back in 2013, Mimi appeared in two episodes of CBBC show School for Stars. The series follows pupils attending The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts as they juggle school life and aspirations of careers in TV, film and theatre.
Mimi trained at the academy from 2009 to 2014, with the show documenting her acquiring one of her first major TV roles.
2013 - Sadie J
Mimi soon scored herself a swift role in CBBC show Sadie J, where she performed in a line-dancing scene. The actress appeared in one episode as Brandy May Lou.
2013 - Our Girl
Mimi also appeared in the pilot episode of Our Girl in 2013, playing the role of Jade Dawes. The show has gone on to achieve great success, with Michelle Keegan taking on a lead role in series two.
2013 - EastEnders
Arguably one of her most well-known roles, Mimi scored the part of EastEnders' Cindy Williams back in 2013. Cast as the role in her early teens, Mimi stayed on the soap for two years, and gained herself nominations for Best Young Performance and Best Young Actor during that time!
2016 - Casualty
Of course, what would a British actor's career gallery be without a brief stint on BBC's Casualty? Delighting the soap fans, Mimi appeared in a 2016 episode of the medical drama as Lana Westmore.
2019 - Tolkien
From 2017 - 2019, Mimi even appeared in a few films, including Megan in the short film The Escape and Claire in the film Close.
In 2019, however, Mimi appeared in the popular film Tolkien, which starred huge names such as Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins. Mimi appeared as the young Edith Bratt, whose older self is portrayed by Lily.
2019 - Sex Education
And that takes us to 2019, when Mimi first appeared as the leader of the Untouchables clique in Netflix's hit show Sex Education - Ruby Matthews. Appearing in all four seasons, Mimi appeared in Sex Education from 2019 - 2023.
Ruby has been present in the show since series one, and even though she was seen as a some-what bully for most of that time, she won over our hearts as she took on a more focal role in series three and four.
2023 - After Everything
Following her Sex Education fame, fans were excited to see Mimi feature in the fifth and final film of the After franchise - titled After Everything. The films star Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. Mimi played the role of Nathalie, who was a fresh addition to the series.
We can't wait to see what Mimi does next!
