Early life and education

Evans-Akingbola was born in London, to an English anthropologist mother, Gillian Evans, and Nigerian musician father Sola Akingbola (of the band Jamiroquai). She was raised in Bermondsey, and educated at Alleyn's School in Dulwich, graduating in 2012.

She received acting training at the National Youth Theatre, but stopped at age 12 to concentrate on her schoolwork. She later resumed actor training at the Identity School of Acting.

Career

Before acting professionally, Evans-Akingbola worked as a model.

Her first acting credits were for the BBC series Youngers (2014) and Holby City (2014). While appearing on a third BBC series, Death in Paradise, Evans-Akingbola was cast in the popular HBO series Game of Thrones, as the (unnamed) second wife of Khal Moro during season 6 in 2016.

Since 2018, she has been a main character on Siren, playing marine biologist Madelyn Bishop. She has also directed, co-wrote, and produced a short film called Grandma's 80th Surprise and done voiceover work for Assassin's Creed video games.

For Netflix's Black Mirror, she appeared in a 2019 episode called "Striking Vipers" as Mariella, a younger Millennial woman dating Karl (played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), (the co-protagonist), but events suggest her relationship with Karl is quite shallow.

Evans-Akingbola plays US secret agent Chelsea Arrington in the 2023 Netflix series The Night Agent.
