BAFTA has launched a new streaming series, BAFTA Playback, sponsored by Samsung, that brings some of Hollywood’s biggest names face-to-face with the moments that defined their craft.
The six-part series, available on BAFTA’s YouTube channel, offers viewers a rare opportunity to see celebrated actors revisit scenes from their careers, discussing the creative choices, influences and inspirations behind their most memorable performances.
In the most recent episode, Colin Farrell, in a relaxed, lounge-style setting, surrounded by memorabilia from his career, reflects on a selection of clips he personally curated, offering insights into the roles that shaped his journey.

Future episodes of BAFTA Playback will feature The Bear star Jeremy Allen White on November 11, with Harriet and Wicked star Cynthia Erivo taking the spotlight on November 13, before The Hunger Games’ Jennifer Lawrence on November 18.

Emma Baehr, BAFTA’s Executive Director of Awards and Content, described the project as “a celebration of outstanding storytelling and the craft that goes into making films and television,” adding that BAFTA Playback offers audiences a chance to “watch actors talk through their creative influences and some of their favourite moments throughout their careers.”
Zeena Hill, Marketing Director for TV/AV at Samsung Electronics UK, said the partnership reflects a shared belief in the power of storytelling: “BAFTA Playback beautifully captures the connection between innovation, creativity and technology. With Samsung’s picture quality, our screens become the stage where some of the world’s most celebrated actors bring their stories to life.”
