Shelby Flannery grew up in the robust theater scene of Minneapolis, where she uncovered her devotion to storytelling. This led her to train at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, from which she graduated in 2018. With two decades of experience in the industry, Shelby has graced a variety of stages, including The Guthrie Theatre and La MaMa, where she is thrilled to collaborate once again with the esteemed Dmitry Krymov and build a theatrical language that transcends their respective Russian and English backgrounds. On screen, Shelby is known for her role as Hope in The CW's acclaimed series The 100, as well as appearances in episodes of Law & Order: SVU, NCIS, and FBI: Most Wanted.

Upcoming: "The Artist" (The Network and Amazon Prime, March 2025), a murder mystery series where Shelby appears alongside Mandy Patinkin and Janet McTeer. Shelby has been humbled and inspired by this project, and perhaps made forever more mischievous.
