In 2020, Reneé was cast as Leighton in The Sex Lives of College Girls on HBO Max. Leighton is the “affluent legacy student” who was largely raised with her brother by an au pair from Marseille.

Talking about her character to Insider, Reneé said: “What I love about Leighton is she is, I think, a really caring person. She cares a lot. I think that another coping thing is just acting like everything’s cool and acting like everything’s good.

“But no matter really what she goes through she’s always going to be there for somebody when they need it. And I think that’s really special.”

She also makes her own music and released her first EP in 2022

Reneé Rapp can truly do it all. She currently has two EPs out and in 2022 she released her first one called Everything to Everyone and she released the deluxe version in 2023. Talking to Rolling Stone about how she got into music, Reneé said: “I wanted to be Beyonce. I used to watch the award shows for music, and just cry after, because it was the greatest night of my life. But I was also filled with such FOMO and envy. I couldn’t watch it anymore. I was that jealous.”

In January 2023, Reneé performed at the sold out O2 Forum Kentish Town, after upgrading her venue three times. She’s a big deal.
