Tanner Zagarino has inked a deal with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for film and TV theatrical representation, with agents Brian Boone, Harry Fotopoulos, Tracy Brennan, and Yale Jesser steering his career at the agency.
The signing comes at a pivotal moment for the rising actor. Zagarino is currently appearing in the third and final season of Amazon Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty as fan-favorite fraternity brother Redbird, while also holding a memorable arc on Apple TV+’s hit comedy series Shrinking.
His biggest role to date, though, is ahead of him, he’s set to lead The Land, an upcoming Hulu series from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, playing opposite Christopher Meloni and William H. Macy in a generational drama set inside the world of the NFL.
This signing follows CAA’s recent momentum in signing rising TV talent, including Brianne Howey for worldwide representation and Chriselle Lim for representation.
Before landing at CAA for theatrical representation, Zagarino was represented by TalentWorks. On the management side, he continues with Canopy Media Partners, the full-service LA and NY-based management and production firm. His publicist relationship with The Initiative Group, the bi-coastal entertainment PR collective founded by former BWR veterans, also remains intact.
Takeaways
Tanner Zagarino’s move to CAA isn’t just a routine agency signing, it’s a strategic bet on a moment. With The Summer I Turned Pretty wrapping its final season and The Land positioned as one of Hulu’s bigger 2026 swings, Zagarino enters CAA’s powerful theatrical pipeline exactly when studio interest in him is likely at its peak.
The timing is sharp. CAA has been on a consistent run of signing emerging actors with strong streaming credentials, and Zagarino fits that playbook cleanly.
His dual-show presence on Amazon and Apple TV+ proved he can hold his own in ensemble casts, and landing a lead opposite Christopher Meloni and William H. Macy on a Dan Fogelman project is the kind of credit that changes trajectories fast.
With The Land giving him a lead role in a high-profile Hulu drama, could this be Zagarino’s breakout moment into A-list film territory? With The Summer I Turned Pretty concluding, could Zagarino’s Redbird character open doors to more leading-man roles in the YA/romance space?
