Penn Badgley Signs With WME & Range Media Partners

EXCLUSIVE: Actor and producer Penn Badgley has signed with WME and Range Media Partners for representation in all areas.

WME and Range will work with Badgley to expand his production company, Ninth Mode, across television, film, and podcasts.

Badgley most recently starred as Joe Goldberg in Netflix’s You, a brilliant bookstore manager who was also a serial killer. He led the series across the show’s 5 seasons, which concluded its run in 2025. Additionally, he served as a producer on the series and made his directorial debut during its fourth season. His breakout role was playing Dan Humphrey on the CW’s Gossip Girl, from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.

He will next star opposite Meghann Fahy in Amazon MGM’s romantic comedy You Deserve Each Other, adapted from Sarah Hogle’s novel about an engaged couple who have fallen out of love. Badgley will play Nicholas Rose, one half of the couple, with Fahy playing the other, Naomi Westfield. The film is set to be released in 2027.

His upcoming projects also include Amazon’s series adaptation of Benjamin Stevenson’s Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, playing the leading role of Ern Cunningham. The film follows Ern, a mystery-writing expert who reluctantly attends a family reunion to welcome his brother Michael home from prison — the same brother Ern helped convict. When a frozen body appears, and a snowstorm traps everyone inside, the deaths begin to mount. Everyone in his family has already killed someone — either by accident or otherwise. His second project is the psychological thriller NDA opposite Rachel Zegler and Amy Ryan.

His film credits include Margin Call, for which he and his castmates received the Robert Altman “Ensemble Cast Award” at the Independent Spirit Awards, as well as Easy A, John Tucker Must Die, The Stepfather, and Billy Crystal’s Here Today.

Outside of acting, he produced and co-hosted Podcrushed with Sophie Ansari and Nava Kavelin. The trio published their essay collection Crushmore in October 2025. He also leads the conversation series Can We Talk with Dr. Nura Mowzoon.
