Additional film work includes "It Comes at Night," Ridley Scott's "Alien: Covenant," and "Roman J. Israel, Esq." with Denzel Washington. Her role in "Born to Be Blue," a film about jazz musician Chet Baker, earned her a Canadian Screen Award nomination.
On television, Ejogo has appeared in the NBC crime drama "Kidnapped," the Starz anthology series "The Girlfriend Experience," and HBO's "True Detective," where she played Amelia Reardon.
