Sarah Yarkin is an actress, writer, and producer known for her grounded, nuanced performances across film and television. With sharp humor and emotional depth, she has built a career that bridges studio projects and the indie film world.
Yarkin stars as Rhonda Rosen in the Paramount+ breakout series School Spirits, opposite Peyton List and Milo Manheim. The mystery drama follows a teen girl trapped as a ghost in her high school while investigating her own death.

In film, Yarkin starred as Melody in Netflix and Legendary’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Additional credits include Not Okay (Searchlight/Hulu) opposite Zoey Deutch and Dylan O’Brien, and Universal/Blumhouse’s Happy Death Day 2U. Her television work includes Platonic (Apple TV+), Motherland: Fort Salem (Freeform), Single Parents (ABC), and appearances on Transparent, The Middle, and The Good Place, showcasing her range across comedy, drama, and genre.
Expanding her work behind the camera, Yarkin produced and stars in the upcoming short VISITORS, a sci-fi thriller directed by Minnie Schedeen and serving as a proof of concept for a feature in development. She also leads the independent psychological thriller The Silence Game, currently on the festival circuit.
