Hannah New was born in Balham in 1984. She is known best for her work on the television show Black Sails where she plays Eleanor Gurthie.

New attended ballet school at the age of four and enrolled in to the National Youth Theatre a few years later.

Wikipedia states she visited 20 countries, including spending three months in a children's home in 2003 during her studies.

Hannah decided to model to financially support her during her studies and was quickly scouted by a management agency in Madrid.

New's acting career began when she was discovered by American talent manager Stacey Castro. She found Hannah in Barcelona while searching for someone to play the role of "Lucrezia Borgia" in the television series "The Borgias".

In 2010, Hannah was casted into the television show "The Time in Between".

In 2012 she joined the cast of the Starz TV show "Black Sails", where she played Elanor Guthrie, a saloon owner who runs her father's illegal businesses in Nassau.

The TV show ran for 8-episodes in its 2014 first season.

Also in 2014, Hannah got a main role in the true-based thriller Under the Bed, directed by The Blair Witch Project director, Dan Myrick.

This sees Hannah as a young woman who is trying to get over a recent break-up while also being stalked by a stranger online who ends up creeping underneath her bed.

The film was released in 2017.
