About Arielle Port

Arielle Port started as a TV producer, developing content for Netflix (Firefly Lane, Brazen) and Hallmark (The Santa Stakeout, A Christmas Treasure) before transitioning into entertainment journalism. Her love of story went from interest to lifelong passion while at The University of Pennsylvania, where she fell in with a student-run web series, Classless TV, and it was a gateway drug. Arielle Port has been a Writer for Screen Rant since August 2024. She lives in Los Angeles with her boyfriend and more importantly, her cat, Boseman.

Industry Focus

Arielle specializes in network sitcoms, including Abbott Elementary and Ghosts. Arielle knows everything MCU related, and is psyched for Agatha All Along and Captain America: Brave New World. Her love of musicals extends to television, movies, and live theater. When it comes to reality/competition shows, Arielle loves to rewatch America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway, despite not being fashion-forward herself.

Favorite Media

Arielle is quite omnivorous in the television and movies she consumes, but her favorite genres are fantasy/sci-fi, comedy, and anything musical. Character-based stories blow her away more than spectacle. Some of her favorite film franchises include Harry Potter, the MCU (still!), and Shrek. Upcoming sequels she is excited to write about include Mamma Mia 3 and The Devil Wears Prada, as well as Wicked. Her favorite filmmakers include Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body, Juno), Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and debatably Ant-Man), and Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, La La Land.) Some of the current favorite shows include Only Murders in the Building, Hacks, and English Teacher.
