Momona Tamada movie list
From appearing in one of Netflix's most successful global film franchises to date and bringing charming, heartfelt characters to life in television, actress Momona Tamada has quickly become "one to watch" in the entertainment industry.
In 2021 Momona reprised her breakout role as Claudia Kishi in season two of Netflix's "The Baby-Sitters Club." Based on Ann M. Martin's beloved books, the series follows a group of girlfriends and their homegrown babysitting company. Momona shines as vice-president of the club, creative artist, and all-around fashion maven, Claudia. Both seasons debuted to rave reviews, with the critics calling the show "refreshing" (The Daily Beast), "a worldview-one of warmth, empathy, and optimism" (Esquire), "a richly detailed, nuanced portrait of what it's like to be a young woman" (Collider), and "sweet but not cloying, smart but not cynical, full-hearted and funny" (The New York Times). "The Baby-Sitters Club" is currently streaming on Netflix.
In film, Momona recently wrapped production on Paramount's upcoming action film "Secret Headquarters." The film, which also stars Owen Wilson and Michael Peña, follows a kid who discovers the secret headquarters of the world's most powerful superhero. "Secret Headquarters" is set to bow on August 12, 2022. Additional recent credits for Momona include appearing as a young Lara Jean (Lana Condor) in Netflix's global sensation "To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You," its follow-up "To All The Boys: Always and Forever, Lara Jean," and a lead role in Netflix's family film "The Main Event." In television, Momona appeared on AMC's award- winning series "The Terror" and Amazon's "The Boys."
