Brittany Adebumola, who recently starred in new CW series, 4400, alongside other newcomers Autumn Best and TL Thompson, is set to become a teen favourite after winning over fans with her big network debut.

Playing protagonist Shanice Murray, the American actress has won praise for highlighting various taboo topics, including the difficulties of post-partum depression. Kicking off her love of acting when she was nine years old, the New Yorker went from attending small acting classes, to graduating from Syracuse University with a bachelor degree in the field. Adebumola is currently in talks for various other shows, including a second season of 4400.
