Kaitlyn Dever has officially made the move from United Talent Agency (UTA) to William Morris Endeavor (WME) for representation.
The signing comes at a high point in Dever’s career. She’s currently on screens as Abby in HBO’s The Last of Us Season 2, a role that earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Season 3 is now in production with her character taking the lead.
On the film side, Dever just wrapped Legendary’s Godzilla x Kong: Supernova alongside Dan Stevens and Jack O’Connell, due in theaters in March 2027. Her recent credits also include Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar and the sci-fi thriller No One Will Save You on Hulu, which earned her a Critics Choice Award nomination.
WME has been on an active signing run in 2026. The agency recently added Tell Me Lies star Jackson White and Young Sherlock lead Hero Fiennes Tiffin to its roster, signaling a focused push to bolster its on-screen talent stable.
Dever continues to be repped by Shelter PR for publicity.
Takeaways
This is a significant power move. Dever isn’t just a working actress, she’s at a genuine inflection point. With The Last of Us Season 3 built around her character and a major blockbuster franchise film dropping in early 2027, she’s walking into WME with real commercial momentum.
Leaving UTA at this stage suggests she and her team see WME as the better vehicle to capitalize on what’s shaping up to be her biggest career chapter yet.
WME’s recent string of high-profile signings also signals the agency is aggressively stacking its TV and film talent roster heading into a competitive awards and box office cycle.
What does this move mean for the broader talent war between WME and UTA in the prestige TV space?Could this signing lead to bigger brand partnership or producing deals for Dever under WME’s umbrella?
