Her television credits also include Hulu’s supernatural thriller “Light as a Feather,” the dystopian feature “The Thinning,” and CBS’s “Happy Together.” List’s film credits include the Netflix romantic drama Girl Haunts Boy, the supernatural thriller The Inheritance opposite Bob Gunton, and the sci-fi drama Anthem of a Teenage Prophet.
