Biography
Early life
Brec Bassinger was born Brec Marie Bassinger on May 25, 1999, in Saginaw, Texas, making her 26 years old as of 2025.[2] She grew up in a close-knit family with her parents, Shelley and Raymond Bassinger—a kindergarten teacher and a farmer, respectively—and her two older brothers, Beric and Brice.[7][1][6] During her childhood in the small town of Saginaw, Bassinger was active in competitive cheerleading and various sports, including gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, and track.[8][9] These activities shaped her early years before she developed an interest in performance. Bassinger participated in natural beauty pageants from a young age and achieved notable success by winning the Our Little Miss World title.[9] It was during a 2008 pageant in Alabama, at the age of 8, that she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, which she has managed since then.[9] Initially uninterested in acting, her experiences in pageants ignited a passion for performing, prompting her to begin acting classes at age 10.[9]Personal life
Bassinger was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of eight, a condition that requires ongoing management through insulin therapy, blood sugar monitoring, and dietary adjustments.[9] This diagnosis has profoundly shaped her daily routine, particularly as she balances the demands of acting with frequent travel and extended hours on film and television sets, where she must prioritize portable glucose monitoring and insulin administration to maintain stability.[10] The experience has influenced her career choices by fostering a commitment to roles that allow flexibility for health needs and inspiring her to advocate for greater awareness of the condition's challenges.[11] As of 2025, Bassinger resides with her mother, Shelley Bassinger, who serves as her manager, in Tarrant County, Texas, following a relocation from Los Angeles after the COVID-19 pandemic; the rest of her family, including her father Raymond and siblings, remain in the state.[6][12] This close family dynamic underscores her emphasis on personal support systems amid professional commitments. Bassinger serves as a celebrity ambassador for Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), actively participating in efforts to raise awareness and fund research for type 1 diabetes, including a prominent role in the organization's 2025 "See T1D" ad campaign launched during National Diabetes Awareness Month.[13] She attended the Breakthrough T1D Los Angeles Gala, "One Night Under the Stars," on October 25, 2025, at the Skirball Cultural Center, supporting fundraising initiatives that raised over $1 million for diabetes research.[14][15] Bassinger has shared limited public information about romantic relationships, instead highlighting her focus on family ties and proactive health management as central to her life.[12]Career
Early roles
Bassinger made her acting debut in 2013 with a recurring role as Emma Hawking, a friend of the lead character, on the Nickelodeon sitcom The Haunted Hathaways, which aired from 2013 to 2015.[4] This appearance marked her entry into television, appearing in multiple episodes during the show's first season.[2] Following her debut, Bassinger took on supporting roles in youth-oriented projects, including the part of Vi, a popular high school student, in the 2015 Nickelodeon original TV movie Liar, Liar, Vampire.[16] In 2018, she portrayed Roni Sweetzer in the Hulu teen comedy series All Night, which followed a group of high school graduates during an overnight lock-in party.[17] As a newcomer to the industry, Bassinger faced challenges balancing her passion for competitive cheerleading with the demands of auditions and travel for acting opportunities, a period she described as particularly difficult to manage alongside her diagnosis with type 1 diabetes.[11] Her cheerleading background, which she had pursued since childhood, occasionally informed her early roles but required her to prioritize acting commitments.[18] Bassinger secured her first lead role in 2015 as Bella Dawson, a cheerleader who becomes the quarterback for her school's football team, in the Nickelodeon series Bella and the Bulldogs, which ran for two seasons until 2016 and established her presence in children's television.[19]Breakthrough and major projects
Bassinger made her feature film debut in the 2018 teen romantic comedy Status Update, directed by Scott Speer, where she portrayed Maxi Moore, the sister of the protagonist.[20] The following year, she starred as Catherine in the underwater thriller 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, directed by Johannes Roberts, which followed a group of teenagers encountering sharks in an ancient underwater city.[21] The film, produced on a $12 million budget, grossed $47.6 million worldwide, marking a commercial success in the horror genre and elevating Bassinger's profile in ensemble action projects.#tab=summary) In September 2018, Bassinger was cast as the lead in the DC Universe series Stargirl, playing high school student Courtney Whitmore, who discovers the Cosmic Staff and becomes the superhero Stargirl.[3] Executive producer Geoff Johns praised her selection, stating, "Brec's warmth, strength, humor and positive energy are core to who Courtney Whitmore is," while co-executive producer Greg Berlanti noted she "embodies the spirit of Courtney Whitmore."[3] Produced by Berlanti Productions, Mad Ghost Productions, and Warner Bros. Television, the series premiered on DC Universe on May 18, 2020, with simultaneous broadcast on The CW, running for three seasons through 2022 and blending teen drama with superhero action inspired by Johns' comics.[22] Critics commended Bassinger's performance for its optimism and relatability, with The Hollywood Reporter highlighting her as a key strength in the show's engaging storytelling and character focus.[23] Stargirl significantly boosted Bassinger's visibility, transitioning her from Nickelodeon youth roles to the DC Universe's superhero landscape and establishing her as a lead in genre television.[24] Fans responded enthusiastically, often citing the series for fostering community and providing hope during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Bassinger recounting personal encounters like recognition from event staff that underscored the show's cultural reach.[24] This pivot allowed her to explore themes of heroism and legacy, drawing from Johns' personal inspirations, and solidified her as a rising figure in live-action comic adaptations.[25] In 2024, Bassinger expanded her dramatic range with the role of Margaret Williams in the horror-thriller The Man in the White Van, directed by Warren Skeels and based on a true story of 1970s abductions.[26] Portraying the prim, aspiring-adult older sister to a rebellious younger sibling, she navigated tense family dynamics and period-era tension, marking a departure from her prior upbeat genres into darker, character-driven suspense.[26] The film premiered at the 2023 Newport Beach Film Festival and received a limited theatrical release in December 2024.[27]Recent developments
In 2025, Brec Bassinger took on the lead role of Iris Campbell in Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth installment in the horror franchise, which premiered in theaters on May 16.[28] In the film, directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, Bassinger's character is a college student haunted by violent premonitions who returns home to unravel a deadly cycle threatening her family, blending intense practical effects with the series' signature elaborate death sequences.[29] The movie achieved significant commercial success, grossing $315.6 million worldwide against a $50 million budget, marking it as one of the year's top horror releases. During a spoiler-filled interview on November 2, Bassinger discussed production challenges, including reshoots for key scenes and the physical demands of her role, revealing how the directors pushed boundaries with gore while maintaining the franchise's inventive kills.[30] Bassinger continued her high-profile engagements later in the year, attending the world premiere of Netflix's Stranger Things Season 5 on November 6 in Los Angeles, where she mingled with the cast on the red carpet at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres.[31] She is also scheduled to appear at the San Antonio Fear Fest convention on November 15–16, joining other horror icons for fan meet-and-greets and panels focused on her work in the genre.[32] Looking ahead, Bassinger has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy Just Picture It, a TBA project starring Millie Bobby Brown and Gabriel LaBelle, with no further details on her specific role announced as of November 2025.[33] On September 25, she shared her excitement about the collaboration on Instagram, posting a message tagging Netflix and co-star Idina Menzel, stating, "Very cool. Very excited. Very big fan of your work @netflix Thank you xo."[34]Filmography
