Industry Focus

Jordan Williams is the Streaming Movies/TV Editor for Screen Rant, formerly the site's Theatrical Movies Editor. In addition to leading covering on new streaming shows and movies, Jordan often writes about the horror genre, the Game of Thrones franchise, '90s and '00s sitcoms, box office analysis, and the Oscars. She has been with the site since 2021, having occasionally published TV reviews, exclusive data analyses on new releases, and interviews with actors, directors, and Disney "imagineers."

Favorite Media

Jordan's top four movies on Letterboxd are It's a Wonderful Life, The Royal Tenenbaums, Interstellar, and When Harry Met Sally, but some close runners-up include Beetlejuice, Inglourious Basterds, and Roman Holiday. Her favorite TV shows include Game of Thrones (yes, even season 8), Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Friends, and Schitt's Creek. She’s currently working through watching the entire list of the Oscars’ Best Picture nominees, though this task is often interrupted by rewatches of When Harry Met Sally.
