About Samantha Lord

Samantha Lord began her Valnet career in 2021 when she joined CBR as a Movies/TV Junior Editor. After also joining the training team, she was invited to lead the Movies/TV team as a Deputy Editor. That, in turn, led to her serving Screen Rant as Deputy Editor of two TV teams, though this role came to an end when Samantha decided to leave her home country of England and head 10,000 miles away to Australia.

Now based in Australia, Samantha has joined GameRant as the Movies/TV Lead Editor and always enjoys reading and writing about her favorite fantasy movies, sci-fi shows, and sitcoms with her like-minded teammates. 

Favorite TV Shows

Samantha has quite a versatile taste in TV shows. Her all-time favorites include sci-fi series like Lost, gripping dramas like Sons of Anarchy, and iconic sitcoms like The Office. 

Favorite Movies

No matter the day, Samantha will always choose to watch landmark fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, but she's also a huge fan of Wes Craven and John Carpenter slashers, Ryan Coogler's entire filmography, and thrillers.
