Industry Focus

Erin has been a Core Features writer for Screen Rant since 2022 and writes a range of topics in movies and TV. Erin loves soaking up all forms of media and covers anything from the latest Neflix release to old movie favorites, but her focus lies in streaming and network television.

Favorite Media

Erin has a special fondness for satirical media, whether its American Dad! or The Handmaid's Tale. Anything that makes her laugh or reflect (or both!) becomes a serious obsession. Aside from that, Erin grew up with comics, video games, and reality TV, and as much as she may want to, it's impossible for her to focus on it all, so she settled with a loving relationship to all things pop culture.
