Here’s the thing about Tatiana Maslany. Most people still want to talk about Orphan Black. And fair enough—playing a dozen people at once is a hell of a trick. But if you’ve been paying attention to the trades lately, especially this March, you’ll know she’s currently in the middle of a massive, slightly chaotic career pivot. She isn’t just “the clone girl” anymore; she’s become the go-to person for high-concept, gritty stories that actually have some soul. So, let’s explore Tatiana Maslany movies and TV shows.
The Star Trek Finale and the “Anisha” Mystery
Supposing you’ve spent the past few weeks glued to Paramount+, you’ll know that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy concluded its first season on March 12, 2026. The finale, “Rubicon,” was a little bit of a head-spinner. Tatiana stars as Anisha, the lead cadet’s mother, and to tell you the truth? She stole every scene she was in.
On the Star Trek Memory Alpha forums, the big discussion is whether her character’s actually a hero or if she’s been playing a much longer game against Paul Giamatti’s villain. It’s a real “human” performance in a sea of prosthetics and lens flares. Anisha won’t appear in Season 2, but her story is “far from over”, according to an IGN interview with executive producer Alex Kurtzman. It’s that old Maslany magic — turning a recurring role into the beating heart of the universe.
The Marvel Trolling: Is She in Avengers: Doomsday?
Now let’s discuss the big green elephant in the room. Marvel fans lose their minds every time Maslany appears on a podcast. Lately, the rumours have been flying that She-Hulk is set for a “unique role” in Avengers: Doomsday, which is due out in December 2026.
But here’s where it gets funny. Tatiana is a world-class troll. On a recent episode of Comedy Bang! Bang!, she basically told everyone she “turned Disney down” and that they’re “kicking her out.” As reported by The Movie Blog, she’s playing it very cool with a “you’ll never know” attitude. Given how Marvel works, she’s almost certainly under a massive NDA. If she shows up as the lawyer who officially copyrights the “Avengers” name for Sam Wilson—as the leaks suggest—it’ll be the meta-joke of the century.
The “Year of Horror” and the Indie Gritty
While the big franchises pay the bills, Maslany has been doing some properly weird stuff in the cinema lately. She’s clearly found a kindred spirit in director Osgood Perkins (the bloke who did Longlegs).
Last year, we had The Monkey, a Stephen King adaptation where she played Lois Shelborn. Then there was Keeper, a folk-horror film with Rossif Sutherland that was… well, let’s just say it involves severed fingers and ancient curses. It got a bit of a mixed bag of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but everyone agreed that Tatiana sold the absolute hell out of the terror.
And then there’s The Only Living Pickpocket in New York. This one just did the festival rounds, hitting Sundance and the Berlinale in February 2026. She plays Kelly, starring alongside legends like Steve Buscemi and John Turturro. It’s a 70s-style crime flick that feels a million miles away from a CGI courtroom. It’s exactly the kind of “one for them, one for me” career move that keeps an actor interesting.
What’s Dropping Next?
Mark your calendars for May 20, 2026. That’s when her new Apple TV+ series, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, makes its debut.
The premise is brilliant: she’s a newly divorced mum named Paula who gets sucked into a world of blackmail and murder—all centered around youth football. It sounds absurd, but with Jake Johnson and Murray Bartlett in the cast, it’s going to be a must-watch. According to the official Apple TV+ press release, it’s a 10-episode run that’ll take us right through the summer.
FAQ
Is She-Hulk Season 2 happening?
Look, never say never, but right now it’s looking unlikely. Tatiana has been pretty vocal about the budget being “too big” for Disney to pull the trigger on a second solo run. But expect to see her in the big crossover movies.
What is her role in Star Trek?
She plays Anisha Mir, the mother of one of the cadets. She’s a recurring character, but she was basically the emotional heart of the first season.
Where can I watch her latest movie?
The Monkey is available on most VOD platforms, and The Only Living Pickpocket in New York should be hitting cinemas later this year after its festival run.
Who is she starring with in the Apple TV show?
She’s got a great lineup: Jake Johnson (New Girl), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), and Dolly de Leon.
