Growing up in Hong Kong, Isabella Wei never imagined she would appear on screen—let alone in one of Netflix’s biggest shows. The actor and dancer first came to international attention as Ling Yi in the mystery series 1899, before landing the role of Posy Li in the fourth series of Bridgerton—a milestone for East Asian representation in one of Netflix’s most beloved franchises. Wei is now set to appear in Whatcha Want, an upcoming film helmed by Double Happiness director Mina Shum and featuring Ming-Na Wen. She hopes to continue to work on projects that challenge her and to find opportunities to tell meaningful stories.
