Biography

Luna Jordan was born in Berlin in 2001. As the daughter of Austrian actress Bettina Ratschew, she was introduced to the world of films and acting at an early age. After her first experience in front of the camera as a child, Jordan began regularly participating in TV and film productions as a teenager in 2017. Her first leading role was as a militant environmental activist in "Kommissarin Lucas – Tote Erde" (2018). The following year, she joined the youth ensemble of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin and had a leading role in an episode of the crime series "SOKO-Donau."

In 2020, she appeared in Schiller's "The Robbers" at the Kammerspiele of the Deutsches Theater. Also in 2020, Jordan was part of the main cast of the eight-part streaming series "Wild Republic," about a group of teenage delinquents left to fend for themselves during an adventurous tour in the Alps. She had significant TV roles as a teenage skateboarder in the "Polizeiruf 110" episode "Frau Schrödingers Katze" (2021). Additionally, in 2021, she took on a regular leading role as the daughter of Jürgen Vogel's chief detective in the crime series "Jenseits der Spree." Her own short experimental film "Furor" screened at the Kassel Documentary Film Festival in 2021.

Luna Jordan's first major film role was in the 2020 Austrian production "Fuchs im Bau" ("Fox in a Hole"), portraying an androgynous student prone to violence and self-harm in a Viennese youth detention center. Jordan was nominated for Best Young Actress at the Max Ophüls Film Festival for this role, and in 2022 she won the Best Supporting Actress award at the Austrian Film Awards. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the award-winning film was not released in German cinemas until May 2022.
