What Happened to Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint?

Following the conclusion of the globally successful Harry Potter film series in 2011, Rupert Grint embarked on a career path that diversified his acting portfolio beyond the beloved character of Ron Weasley. Initially, Grint explored independent films such as 'Into the White' (2012), 'Charlie Countryman' (2013), and 'CBGB' (2013), aiming to showcase his range and move away from typecasting. He also made his stage debut in 2013 in 'Mojo' at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London.

A significant turning point in Grint's post-Potter career came with his entry into television. He executive-produced and starred in the crime comedy series 'Snatch' (2017-2018) and the black comedy 'Sick Note' (2017-2018), which gained a wider audience through Netflix. However, it was his role as Julian Pearce in M. Night Shyamalan's psychological horror series 'Servant' for Apple TV+ (2019-2023) that garnered significant critical praise, highlighting his ability to tackle darker, more complex characters. The series ran for four seasons, concluding in March 2023.

In film, Grint continued to take on varied roles, including an appearance in Guillermo del Toro's Netflix anthology series 'Cabinet of Curiosities' (2022). His most prominent recent film role was in M. Night Shyamalan's 2023 thriller 'Knock at the Cabin,' where he played Redmond, a pivotal character in the apocalyptic narrative. The film premiered in February 2023 and received generally positive reviews.

Beyond his professional life, Grint's personal life has also seen significant milestones. He has been in a long-term relationship with actress Georgia Groome since 2011. They welcomed their first daughter, Wednesday, in May 2020, and their second daughter, Goldie G., in April 2025. Grint also briefly held a Guinness World Record in November 2020 for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Instagram after joining the platform.

As of 2026, Rupert Grint remains active in the entertainment industry. He starred in the Finnish film 'Nightborn' (Yön Lapsi), which wrapped filming in December 2024 and was selected for the 76th Berlin International Film Festival in January 2026. He also featured in Ed Sheeran's music video for 'A Little More' in August 2025. Looking ahead, Grint is cast in Ti West's film 'Ebenezer,' alongside Johnny Depp and Ian McKellen, which is slated for release in November 2026. In a major announcement on August 26, 2026, it was confirmed that Grint will reprise his iconic role as Ron Weasley in the Broadway production of 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,' with his 17-week engagement scheduled to run from February 2 to May 30, 2027.
