One of New Zealand's most accomplished and beloved actresses, Antonia Prebble is a familiar face across television, film and stage.

Antonia's screen career began in her teens with a leading role in the sci-fi series The Tribe (1999–2003). In 2005, she took on the role of Loretta West, a quick-witted teenage movie buff, in Outrageous Fortune — a role that ran until 2010 and made her a household name. She then returned to the West family saga in Westside, which aired from 2015 to 2020 and gave audiences a glimpse into the family’s roots in 1970s and 80s Aotearoa.

In between and beyond, Antonia has delivered standout performances in The Blue Rose (2013), Anzac Girls (2014), and the Australian series Sisters (2016). On the big screen, she starred in the 2012 feature film White Lies, New Zealand’s official submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards that year.

Her more recent work includes joining the cast of the SBS drama Safe Home in 2022 and a stint on Shortland Street in 2023. Currently, she stars in the comedy series Double Parked, which has enjoyed two successful seasons with a third in development. Alongside acting, Antonia has stepped into writing and producing, co-developing a range of screen projects with her husband, writer and actor Dan Musgrove.

Born and raised in Wellington in a family of lawyers, Antonia developed a love for performance early on. She later completed a degree in English Literature and French, and remains a committed advocate for lifelong learning.

Outside of acting, Antonia co-hosts the award-winning podcast What Matters Most with clinical psychologist Jacqui Maguire. Now in its third season, the podcast explores topics that affect people’s everyday lives and offers accessible psychological insights and practical tools.

Passionate about creativity, fashion, and travel, Antonia says her most fulfilling role is being mum to her two young sons, Freddie and Gus.
