Kimbolton School is proud to celebrate the success of Old Kimboltonian Jasmine Bayes (OK2018), whose acting career is rapidly gaining momentum across television, film and audio drama.

After leaving Kimbolton in 2018, Jasmine went on to train in Musical Theatre at the Guildford School of Acting. Since graduating, she has been building her professional career within the screen industry and is now firmly established on a television and film pathway, with several high-profile roles launching in 2026.

Most recently, Jasmine has been announced as part of the cast of Hijack season two on Apple TV+, acting alongside Idris Elba. The new season launched in January 2026, with Jasmine appearing as Mei Tan.

Alongside this, Jasmine has also joined the cast of Casualty, becoming one of the new resident doctors in the programme’s landmark 40th series. She plays Dr Kim Chang, with episodes airing on BBC One and available on BBC iPlayer.

Looking ahead to later in 2026, Jasmine will also be stepping into the world of audio drama, voicing the Eleventh Doctor’s new companion for Big Finish Productions as part of their Doctor Who range, with the release scheduled for March.

Reflecting on her journey, Jasmine shared that she is excited to continue developing her screen career across a range of formats, with further projects already in the pipeline.

Away from the spotlight, Jasmine also has personal news to celebrate. She recently became engaged to fellow Old Kimboltonian Hamish Jones (OK2018), whom she met while both were pupils at Kimbolton.

“I never imagined Kimbolton would be a matchmaker,” she said, “but after seven and a half years together, it seems we have the school to thank.”

We are delighted to celebrate Jasmine’s achievements and look forward to following the next stages of her career as she continues her rise from Kimbolton to prime time.
