Career

Marilyn Lima began her professional journey without traditional training when director Eva Husson discovered her Tumblr blog and cast her as George in the 2015 feature Bang Gang (A Modern Love Story). The role marked her screen debut and introduced her to audiences through a provocative coming-of-age story.

She followed this with early television work, including the TV movie Entre deux mères in 2016 and the series Des jours meilleurs in 2017, gradually building experience and visibility in French productions.

Her career expanded significantly with the role of Manon Demissy in Skam France from 2018 to 2020, a part that brought her substantial public recognition and a dedicated following. She continued with the fantasy film A Mermaid in Paris in 2020, playing Lula opposite Nicolas Duvauchelle, and appeared in the Netflix action thriller Sentinelle in 2021 as Tania.

Additional television credits include the mini-series J’ai menti, the TV film Constance aux enfers, and later projects such as @venir and Brigade Anonymes. She also featured in several music videos, including Petit Biscuit’s “We Were Young.”

In more recent years, Marilyn Lima has taken on varied roles that reflect her growing range, including the sci-fi series Bugarach and the 2024 horror-thriller Pacific Fear (also known as Maraé), in which she played Alicia, one of a group of surfers in French Polynesia.
