Actress Shelly Hennig continues to build a name for herself in Hollywood as a fan favorite with her varied characters and projects. She can currently be seen as the powerhouse female lead ‘Ava Winters’ in Netflix’s global top ten hit Obliterated, a laugh-out-loud, action-packed dramedy series from the creators of Cobra Kai. Already this year, she has starred in three films: Teen Wolf: The Movie for Paramount +; rom-com The List for Universal All-Access; and indie comedy Gatlopp. Up next, she’ll be seen in two indie thrillers: Cult Killer, opposite Alice Eve and Antonio Banderas, and Fluxx.
Previously, Shelley recurred on the Netflix mini-series, Woman In The House, starring Kristen Bell, and on both Mystic Quest, created by Rob McElhenney, and the Hulu/Kat Dennings comedy, Dollface. She also starred in Netflix comedies When We First Met, opposite Adam Devine, and Afterparty.
For her role in MTV’s Teen Wolf, Shelley won a 2016 Teen Choice Award for “Choice Summer TV Star.” She played fan favorite ‘Malia Tate’ for four sequential seasons.
A New Orleans native, Shelley is passionate about charitable causes, working often with special needs organizations such as Best Buddies, Global Down Syndrome Foundation, and Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles.
