Whitney Peak
Whitney Peak is an actor, born 2003.
Whitney Peak was born in Kampala in 2003 and holds Ugandan and Canadian citizenship, which puts her at an age where most of the career is still in front of her. It started small: Stella in Molly's Game in 2017, then Judith in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Alpha Jessica in Home Before Dark, the kind of parts that teach you sets rather than showcase you.
The revival of Gossip Girl gave her the workload. As Zoya Lott she was at the centre of a show that ran from 2021 to 2023 and asked its cast to deliver enormous quantities of arch, self-aware dialogue at speed. She was better in its quieter scenes than in the epigrams, which says something about where her strengths sit: she can hold a close-up without pushing, and she reads as genuinely young rather than as a twenty-something playing down.
Hocus Pocus 2 was the wider audience. As Becca she anchors the film's new teenage trio opposite returning stars who are, understandably, doing most of the entertaining. What comes next is a bigger swing: she is cast as Lenore Dove Baird in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, with Thrash and 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank also dated 2026, and Trap House and Eye for an Eye in 2025. Judgement on the range should probably wait until those land.

Where to start with Whitney Peak
The easiest way in, Hocus Pocus 2, is also the least representative: she is playing straight man to a legacy cast, and does it cleanly. For the actual performance, Gossip Girl is the one, two years of Zoya Lott and by far the largest sample of what she can do, though you will have to accept a show that talks at you constantly.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Home Before Dark are early and slight, useful mainly for seeing how quickly she got comfortable on camera. Molly's Game is a blink.
The interesting file is the unreleased one. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping casts her as Lenore Dove Baird, which is the sort of part that either makes an actor or gets swallowed by the franchise around it, and Trap House and Eye for an Eye suggest she is not waiting around for it.
