Indy Lewis (born 2001 or 2002) is a British actress. She is known for her roles in the BBC Two and HBO series Industry (2020–present), the AMC series La Fortuna (2021), and the Amazon Prime series House of David (2025).

Early life and education

Indy Lewis was born in Chelsea, London, the daughter of a judge and a barrister, and grew up in Kingston upon Thames. She is of Welsh and Sri Lankan descent. Her older sister is the writer Ashani Lewis.

Lewis attended the Tiffin Girls' School. She intended to study international relations at Durham University, but took a gap year, during which she applied to drama school and earned a place at the (now defunct) Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA). She switched from the three-year degree programme to the year-long foundation course in order to make time for her career.

Career

Lewis was 18 when she auditioned for what was initially a guest role in the first season of the BBC Two and HBO investment banking drama Industry, which premiered in 2020. Her character Venetia Berens was promoted to series regular for the second season in 2022. Lewis also played Amy Wild in the Spanish-American AMC and Movistar+ adventure series La Fortuna starring the likes of Stanley Tucci and T'Nia Miller.

In 2025 Lewis appeared as Margaret in the BBC One medieval drama King & Conqueror, and in the Amazon Prime biblical series House of David as Mychal.

On June 25, 2026, it was announced that she was cast to play the character Lizzie Young in the Amazon Prime Video television adaptation of the Boys of Tommen book series, written by Chloe Walsh.
