But something’s happening on the small screen. The Golden Age of Television is here, and Winona’s about to take her place at its heart with an exciting new sci-fi project for Netflix.
That’s just the beginning of a new era for Winona Ryder. With it, she’ll find a new generation of fans. And the future’s looking bright.

Actor and podcaster Maisie Williams presents the next chapter in the Winona Ryder story.
By the mid-90s, Winona’s firmly on the A-List. She uses that power to champion female writers and directors, and speaks to the hopes and fears of Generation X in 1994’s Reality Bites. But it’s Girl, Interrupted, a passion project 6 years in the making, that represents the high-point of her creative life so far.
Its raw conversations around mental health are about to become shockingly relevant to Winona’s real life. Because a new tabloid feeding frenzy is about to roar into life - one that puts everything she’s worked for at risk.

Actor and podcaster Maisie Williams presents the next chapter in the Winona Ryder story.
Winona’s at an age that Taylor Swift described as “happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time". And as the pressures of success pile on, she’ll experience all those emotions with a new intensity.
When she drops out of a huge movie due to burnout, the tabloids have a field day. Add that to a high-profile break-up, and a society with an unforgiving attitude to mental health, and you’ve got a recipe for a bad time.
But even when she’s down, Winona’s never beaten. She’s on the cusp of some of her most important, generation-defining work. And nobody’s going to take that away from her.

Actor and podcaster Maisie Williams presents the next chapter in the Winona Ryder story.
When Winona goes up for a part in 1989’s Heathers, the controversial black comedy about murderous high-schoolers, her agent begs her to reconsider.
But there’s no stopping Winona. She’ll trust her instincts, produce work that means something, and become the face of a generation.
Along the way, she’ll go through what we all go through. She’ll meet her first love, and question what it means to be true to herself.
But she’ll do it in the Wild West of the 90s tabloid culture. All eyes on her. And something will have to give.
