Mia McKenna-Bruce is starring in Netflix's latest Agatha Christie adaptation, Seven Dials, which follows a witty young aristocrat who investigates a murder at a lavish country house party. The 1920-set series, which features the likes of Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman, is Mia's first starring TV role since winning the BAFTA Rising Star Award for the 2023 coming-of-age drama, How to Have Sex.
Mia is quickly becoming a household name. Not only is she set to star in ITV's upcoming drama, The Lady, about Sarah Ferguson's former royal dresser Jane Andrews, who was imprisoned for murdering her boyfriend in 2001, but she's also playing Maureen Starkey, the first wife of Ringo Starr, in Sam Mendes' Beatles biopics.

Mia's famous husband
Mia isn't the only famous name in her family. The Vampire Academy star is married to Tom Leach, whom she met on the set of The Rebels, the 2019 action film set in Roman-occupied Wales.

Tom popped the question on the couple's five-year anniversary, when Mia was filming in Pamplona. "He made me a lovely breakfast spread with crumpets – because I love crumpets," Mia told British Vogue.
"Then he gave me a card, which actually isn't like Tom, he's not really one for romance. It said, 'Are you ready to get married, yes or no?' with boxes to tick. He reminded me in his speech at the wedding that I never actually ticked the box that said yes," she explained, adding: "I was too busy screaming."
Mia and Tom tied the knot on August 8 at Brympton House in Somerset.
Mia's home life
Mia and Tom are parents to a two-year-old son, Leo, who arrived in August 2023.
"I can't say it was overly planned," Mia told The Times. "It's not easy, don't get me wrong. But it's magic," added the star, who was 26 when she welcomed her baby.

"I've put a lot of pressure on myself to be working consistently and now I've got this other love in my life as well."
Agatha Christie's Seven Dials is available to stream on Netflix now.
