In case you missed it, Netflix\u2019s new drama The Waterfront<\/a> has officially made waves\u2014literally and figuratively. Despite only premiering on June 19, the show quickly sailed to the top<\/a> of Netflix\u2019s U.S. Top 10<\/a> chart, becoming the number one most-streamed series on the platform between June 16\u201323 (yep, even with just a few days in the game). The numbers? Over 8 million views and more than 53 million hours watched. Not bad for a brand-new series.<\/p>\n

The show follows the Buckley family, whose North Carolina fishing empire is slowly unraveling\u2014and they\u2019re willing to do just about anything to keep control. Think family secrets, power struggles, and drama by the boatload. The cast is pretty stacked too, featuring familiar names like Jake Weary<\/a>, Melissa Benoist<\/a> and Holt McCallany. But one standout you might not immediately recognize is Humberly Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>\u2014though chances are, you\u2019ve definitely seen her before.<\/p>\n

In The Waterfront, Gonz\u00e1lez plays Jenna Tate, a journalist who returns home to care for her sick father and ends up rekindling tension (and maybe a little chemistry) with her high school ex, Cane Buckley (Weary). Cue the messy emotions and complicated dynamics.<\/p>\n

Before The Waterfront, Gonz\u00e1lez made waves in another Netflix fave: Ginny & Georgia<\/a>. She played Sophie Sanchez, a confident, popular senior who dated Max (Ginny\u2019s best friend), giving fans one of the show\u2019s most memorable LGBTQ+ storylines.<\/p>\n

Her resume doesn\u2019t stop there\u2014she\u2019s popped up in everything from Workin\u2019 Moms and Jupiter\u2019s Legacy to Orphan Black and Star Trek: Section 31. Oh, and she had a supporting role in the Bob Odenkirk action film Nobody.<\/p>\n

TL;DR: Humberly Gonz\u00e1lez is booked, busy and definitely on the rise.<\/p>\n
