Big Bang Theory Alum Alice Amter returns to Sundance in “The Screener”
Alice Amter, known for The Big Bang Theory, heads back to Sundance in The Screener, marking a bold return to the festival circuit.
Alice Amter
Big Bang Theory alum Alice Amter can be seen in a new project titled The Screener, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2026.
According to WWW.IMDB, Amter plays Nadia in the series.
Inside The Screener
The Screener, described as a procedural comedy about white-collar crime, spans five episodes, of which three are being screened at the festival.
Details about Amter’s character are being kept under wraps, but her placement in the cast perhaps suggests a role that blends gravitas and humor.
A Sundance Return
It can be noted that the last time Alice Amter had a project premiere at Sundance was in 2002, with The Good Girl starring Jennifer Aniston.
At that time, Sundance was still defining the modern indie pipeline, and Park City premieres could turn a title into instant currency.
For Amter, the gap between premieres also underscores a career that has moved across formats and audiences, from broad network comedy to a sharper, more industry-aware story.
Why This Role Fits
Amter arrives with a certain shorthand. The Big Bang Theory still reads as a global calling card, and familiarity with her can be an advantage in Park City, where crowded schedules force quick choices. A recognizable name helps a screening feel like a priority.
A Familiar Spotlight
Sundance remains a place where a project can declare what it is before the wider world does. In 2002, The Good Girl’s premiere was a career-turning pivot for Jennifer Aniston from a sitcom star into an indie film star.
For Amter, it could do the same.
Sundance 2026 launches on January 22 and runs through February 1, 2026.
