She was nominated for an Academy Award in 2020 for playing Harriet Tubman in “Harriet” and an Emmy in 2021 for playing Aretha Franklin in “Genius,” while also earning deserved critical buzz as a P.I.-savant in HBO’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Outsider.” In 2020, Erivo launched her Edith’s Daughter prodco, which promptly signed with MRC to develop TV projects. Additionally, Erivo released her debut album “Ch. 1 Vs. 1” in September 2021. Still, she’s clearly not hewn to one niche, with “Pinocchio” due in 2022 on Disney+, along with the Apple TV+ female-driven anthology series, “Roar.”
