Olivia Holt Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Olivia Holt is dishing about stepping away from acting for a little while.

The 23-year-old actress and singer took some time off from acting after her Freeform series Cloak & Dagger ended in May 2019.

“I think I definitely needed some sort of pause/a reset,” Olivia told Glamaholic magazine. “I needed to take a breather but I don’t want to take a break ever again [laughs]. I love what I do so much, and I’ve been saying, ‘if quarantine taught me anything it’s that I miss what I do so much.’”

On the acting side, Olivia is set to return to television in a brand new series called Cruel Summer, where she’ll head back to Freeform.

“I’m very excited to work on this show, lots of very incredible, talented people are a part of this project!” she said. “It’s based in the 90s which is my favorite era, it’s a psychological thriller, and I’m so excited for everybody to watch it.”

She also dished on her music career, and what her upcoming releases will be like. Check out her latest single “Love U Again”!

“It all very much falls in line with the music I’ve been putting out, and with this chapter of my life,” Olivia shared. “I have nearly spent the last year and a half – two years working on music and making it a mission of mine. It’s like a piece of art that I put together. Some of that will be released this year, and I’m very excited about it.”

Olivia Holt is heading back to Freeform!!

The 22-year-old Cloak & Dagger actress and singer has been cast in a lead role in the upcoming thriller series Cruel Summer, Deadline reports.

The show, from executive producer Jessica Biel, was previously titled Last Summer and was picked up to series earlier this year.

Olivia is taking on the role of Kate, who is the embodiment of teenage perfection whose life is one to be envied until she mysteriously disappears, which was originally played by Mika Abdalla in the pilot.

Cruel Summer takes place over three summers — 1993-95 — in a small Texas town when a beautiful popular teen, Kate (Holt), is abducted and, seemingly unrelated, a girl, Jeanette (Chiara Aurelia), goes from being a sweet, awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town and, by ’95, the most despised person in America.

Each episode is told from the POV of one of the two main girls, which will have the viewers’ loyalties constantly shifting as more information is revealed.
