‘Awards Chatter’ Live Podcast: Emma Corrin on Fame, Identity and ‘A Murder at the End of the World’

Emma Corrin, the Critics Choice and Golden Globe award-winning and SAG and Emmy Award-nominated British actress, is the guest on this week’s episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, which was recorded in front of an audience of film students at Chapman University. The 28-year-old discussed their career-making portrayal of Princess Diana — from a 16-year-old schoolgirl to a 28-year-old royal — on season four of Netflix’s The Crown, back in 2020; their identity journey; and their acclaimed, Emmy-buzzed performance in the FX limited series A Murder at the End of the World.

On A Murder at the End of the World, which was created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij (who were also behind Netflix’s The OA), Corrin stars as a young woman named Darby Hart in two different periods of her life six years apart. The first takes place when she was an amateur detective investigating cold-case murders with her then-boyfriend Bill. The second follows her in the present day as an author acclaimed for her book about those experiences, who is invited to a billionaire’s retreat at which Bill — who she hasn’t seen since he walked out on her six years ago and is now a famous artist — turns up dead, providing her with one more, very personal mystery to solve.

Corrin also starred in the 2022 films My Policeman and Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and will soon be seen in the films Deadpool & Wolverine and Nosferatu.
