Kelcey Mawema

Kelcey Mawema is a Canadian actress who has become a prominent figure in young adult television and genre cinema, best known for her role in the 2023 Amazon Original slasher-comedy Totally Killer. In the film, she portrays Amelia Creston, the brilliant and loyal best friend of the protagonist, Jamie. Amelia is responsible for finishing her mother’s high school science project—a functioning time machine—which serves as the central plot device that sends Jamie back to 1987. Mawema’s performance provides the emotional and intellectual anchor for the present-day timeline, and she also voices the logic behind the film’s "river-like" time travel rules, which allow her to remember the shifts in reality as Jamie alters the past. Born on July 15, 1995, Mawema first gained widespread recognition for her role as Emily Nussbaum in the popular Netflix film To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) and its sequel To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020). Her career is marked by a strong presence in the Vancouver-based film industry, with notable roles in a variety of genres. She starred as Gabrielle in the cult-favorite action series Deadly Class and appeared as Ana in the second season of the horror series The Exorcist. Her diverse television credits also include guest roles on Superman & Lois, Motherland: Fort Salem, and The Irrational, as well as a recurring role in the Netflix series My Life with the Walter Boys. Beyond her work in major streaming hits, Mawema has appeared in films like the 2022 sci-fi thriller The Friendship Game and the Paramount+ original Honor Society. Known for her ability to play characters that are both grounded and highly intelligent, she has quickly established herself as a versatile performer capable of navigating both lighthearted teen dramas and high-stakes horror. Her role in Totally Killer further cemented her status within the Blumhouse Television family, showcasing her talent for playing the "tech-savvy sidekick" with a refreshing level of depth and authenticity.
