Bryony Hannah is best known for her role as Cynthia Miller in the acclaimed BBC period drama Call the Midwife. She also earned praise for her performance in the stage production of The Children's Hour, for which she was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award in 2012 for Best Performance in a Supporting Role. In addition to her theater work, she appeared in the comedy series Dead Boss and has taken on a variety of roles in both film and television.
In Call the Midwife, Hannah's portrayal of Cynthia Miller evolved significantly over the course of the series. Her character undergoes a profound transformation, eventually becoming a nun known as Sister Mary Cynthia. According to Hannah, this transition felt natural, as it aligned with the storyline in Jennifer Worth’s memoirs, upon which the series is based. Although initially surprised by the change in her role, she grew to appreciate the depth and complexity it offered. She noted that it was a unique experience to be positioned with the nuns, separated from her former colleagues—emphasizing the character’s search for purpose and spiritual identity.
Bryony Hannah is notably private about her personal life. While it is known that she has a child, she has not publicly confirmed details regarding her family, including the identity of her partner. Fellow co-star Jenny Agutter shared during a Shakespeare Schools Festival event that Hannah was delighted about becoming a mother, calling it "wonderful news." Hannah, however, has chosen not to comment publicly on the matter. Her discretion about her personal affairs has not impacted her involvement in Call the Midwife, and she ensured fans that she would not miss the upcoming series at the time.
