Martin Scorsese’s HBO Series ‘I Love L.A.’ Set to Impress
Odessa A’zion is quickly becoming a notable name in Hollywood, thanks to her role in the highly anticipated HBO series, I Love L.A. Set against the backdrop of social media fame, the show dares to critique zillennial culture while also captivating audiences.
From Auditions to Stardom
A’zion’s journey to success began years ago with an audition for HBO’s Euphoria. Despite impressing casting director Jennifer Venditti and receiving a callback for creator Sam Levinson, the pandemic halted her aspirations. The role ultimately went to another actress, leaving A’zion feeling she hadn’t pursued it aggressively enough.
Major Breakthroughs with A24
Fast forward four years, and A’zion caught the eye of director Josh Safdie for his feature film Marty Supreme. This project marked Safdie’s first solo effort after his collaboration with brother Benny, known for creating the acclaimed film Uncut Gems. Safdie was seeking a fresh talent and requested recommendations from Venditti and Levinson, who endorsed A’zion.
After a rigorous audition process, A’zion’s talent shone through, leading her to secure the vital role opposite Timothée Chalamet. Marty Supreme has since become A24’s highest-grossing film in North America, with earnings exceeding $81 million and nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
A New Era with HBO’s I Love L.A.
In early 2026, A’zion stars in the ensemble comedy I Love L.A., created by Rachel Sennott. As Tallulah, a TikToker navigating her quest for lasting fame, A’zion brings both humor and depth to the character. The series has resonated remarkably well, resulting in a swift renewal for a second season.
- Producer: Rachel Sennott
- Character: Tallulah
- Renewed: For a second season
Impact and Recognition
Her work in the series has ignited significant discussion among viewers. Sennott noted the show’s success through fan-created “fan-cams,” indicating a strong connection with its audience.
Despite her rising fame, A’zion remains humble. Living in Los Angeles’ Mid-City, she leads a casual lifestyle, often adorned in comfortable, oversized clothing. She manages a busy schedule filled with press tours, but she finds comfort in her group of three roommates and collection of pets.
Future Prospects
The upcoming year looks promising for A’zion. Alongside the second season of I Love L.A., whispers of a new film project in Montreal have surfaced, highlighting her growing presence in the industry.
A’zion has also been cultivating her musical ambitions, having spent significant time in recording studios with plans to release an album. She expressed her desire for complex roles, stating, “I just want the juicy, messed-up roles. I will play whatever insane character somebody wants me to play.”
With a striking complex journey in the industry, Odessa A’zion is poised to captivate audiences while challenging the norms. Her work in I Love L.A. and Marty Supreme marks just the beginning of what looks to be a remarkable career.
