Brittany Snow Emerges as 2025’s Television Powerhouse Whilst Confronting Industry Ageism

A Banner Year for Brittany Snow

Brittany Snow has emerged as a significant figure in 2025’s television landscape, starring in multiple popular shows and captivating audiences with her performances. The 39-year-old actress has proven her versatility across three major television series this year, cementing her status as one of the industry’s most talked-about performers.

The Hunting Wives Success and Season Two

“The Hunting Wives” became a huge success for Netflix, drawing 5.2 million views in its first week. The series spent five weeks on the global English Top 10 TV List and garnered over 20 million views during that window. Following this success, Netflix announced that its hit series starring Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman will be renewed, with the second season expected to arrive in summer 2026.

Challenging Hollywood’s Age Discrimination

Beyond her on-screen success, Snow has become a vocal advocate against industry ageism. During an appearance on the “Las Culturistas” podcast, the 39-year-old actress called out ageist stereotypes, stating that “Hollywood wants to kind of disregard women after the age of 32 for sex scenes, specifically nudity”. Snow emphasised that her work demonstrates women in their late 30s and 40s can be powerful, with content created for the woman gaze.

Expanding Portfolio and LGBTQ+ Representation

In “The Beast in Me,” Snow portrayed Nina Jarvis, the conflicted wife of tech billionaire Nile Jarvis, showcasing yet another dimension of her acting range. 2025 marked a resurgence in LGBTQ+ representation on screen, with Snow’s contributions in both The Hunting Wives and Heated Rivalry playing a vital role in this shift.

Significance for the Entertainment Industry

Snow’s success in 2025 represents more than personal achievement—it signals a potential shift in how Hollywood approaches stories about women over 30. Her willingness to speak openly about industry discrimination whilst simultaneously delivering compelling performances demonstrates that talent and commercial success need not diminish with age. As viewers increasingly demand diverse, authentic storytelling, Snow’s trajectory suggests that established actresses can lead the charge in reshaping industry standards for years to come.
