PENELOPE launched on Netflix in September of this year, where it landed in the streamer’s coveted Top 10.
Most recently, Megan appeared in Falcon Film’s AFTERMATH opposite Dylan Sprouse and Mason Gooding, which follows a PTSD-stricken war veteran who attempts to escape a mass hostage situation on Boston’s Tobin Memorial Bridge. The film released in the US on November 1st.

The miniseries garnered Golden Globe, SAG, Emmy, and GLAAD Award nominations during its awards season run.
