Murray was born on July 1, 1989, in Bristol. Her parents work at Bristol University, her father as a professor and her mother as a research technician.
Murray studied at Queens College, Cambridge where she earned a degree in English and later joined North Bristol Post 16 Centre. She also started to take drama classes which made her fall for acting. Murray was a member of the Bristol Old Vic Young Company.
At the age of 17, Murray heard about an audition for young actors in Bristol and decided to audition for the experience. The auditions were for the E4 teen drama series Skins. She impressed the producers of the series and was cast as Cassie Ainsworth, a gentle and creative but self-destructive teenager with an eating disorder. Murray and April Pearson were the first two to be cast on the show. Murray went on to appear in the first two series, from 2007 to 2008. She left at the end of the show's second series to make way for a new generation of characters. On the decision to replace the cast, Murray has said that "it would be really silly to be in a teenage drama if you're no longer a teenager".
Following Skins in May 2008, Murray made her stage debut as Mia in the critically acclaimed That Face, a West End production at the Duke of York's Theatre. She was highly praised for her acting in the play, and it was considered a milestone in her career as she abandoned her well-known "Cassie way". That same year, she had a small role in the black comedy In Bruges, but her scene was cut from the film.
In 2009, Murray appeared in the ITV adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, playing Dorothy Savage. She also appeared in the thriller film Womb (2010). Later that year, Murray starred in an adaptation of Enda Walsh's Chatroom. The film premiered at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. In early January, she appeared in the British television thriller Above Suspicion: the Red Dahlia, an adaptation of Linda La Plante's novel, in a small role.
On 8 August 2011, HBO confirmed that Murray would portray Gilly in the second and third seasons of Game of Thrones. She was upgraded to a series regular for the fourth season. Her character is a young woman who has a baby by her own father and becomes protected by the character Samwell Tarly. In 2012, she appeared in the action thriller film The Numbers Station.
In 2013, Murray appeared in a two-episode feature, in the seventh and final series of Skins, where she reprised her role as a more serious, solemn, and independent adult Cassie Ainsworth. She also starred in the music video for "Your Cover's Blown" by Belle & Sebastian.
In 2014, Murray starred in God Help the Girl, about three musicians in Glasgow. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2014, and Murray shared the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for the Delightful Ensemble Performance. Later that year she continued her role as Gilly in Game of Thrones season 4. She also starred in the acclaimed revival of Jean-Jacques Bernard’s play Martine, playing the title role. Her performance was considered one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking of the year by the public and critics, and she was nominated for Best Female Performance at the Off West End Awards.
Murray starred in Lily & Kat (2015), an independent American film and the first feature directed by Micael Preysler, about inseparable best friends who struggle to make the best of their last few days together, savouring the city nightlife with an enigmatic artist one of them takes a liking to.
In 2015 she played Sara in the Danish film Bridgend, based on the Bridgend suicides of South Wales. The film premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival and received great reviews. The film then had its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival where it won 3 awards, including Murray for Best Actress. In 2016 Murray played Sylvia Ageloff, a young Jewish American intellectual from Brooklyn and a confidante of Trotsky, in the film The Chosen.

Quotations:
“Turns out you have a really fun time if you go to work every day and focus on being silly and funny and happy!”
“I really loved animals when I was little – my friend and I had an imaginary vet’s office; we would mime doing surgery on animals. We treated more injuries than illnesses – fixing with a baby bear with a broken leg, removing a tumor. Of course, our surgeries would take about five seconds; that’s how good we were.”
“I really hate being recognized. I’m quite a shy person, and I’m not very good at talking to strangers. So when people come up to me in the street, I just find it quite awkward. I don’t really know what to say to them.”
“I really like singing, although I’m embarrassed about doing it.”
“You can tell when people think they’re a little bit special, and it’s quite fun to laugh at them, and I think it’s good to laugh at them because then you can deflate their egos a bit.”
“I really like all of the characters in ‘The Secret History’ by Donna Tartt, especially Camilla, the one girl. I find her fascinating.”
“Was I in a nativity play? I think I was an angel; I was a very blonde child, so I tended to get typecast. I have a vague memory of wearing wings.”
“Do people ever ask me to say ‘Wow?’ Never in interviews, but a few times on the street. I don’t do it. I try to get away from them as quickly as possible and explain that I’m not a performing seal.”
“I can’t think of any shows I’ve watched about teenagers that has the same spirit that ‘Skins’ has, the same honesty about it.”
“There are so many female roles – particularly for young women – that are just somebody’s girlfriend or somebody’s daughter, or that are accessories to the main story rather than being three-dimensional characters.”
“I’ve always loved musical films; I find them really thrilling and exciting; it was part of what made me want to be an actress, that feeling of being really transported.”
“I can remember on the first day on ‘Chatroom,’ it was just one scene for the whole day, which was a really nice luxury to have.”
“Cambridge is really understanding and helpful, so that’s been good, and it’s just a case of trying to get stuff done when I am there and just being efficient with managing my time.”
“One of the hardest things to do in acting is to stop thinking about yourself and stop being self-conscious.”
“Skins’ is about a group of teenagers in Bristol, and it’s all about what they get up to and all the different things they do. I think it’s a good show because it’s come from a very real place, and there’s a lot of young people involved in the writing.”
“No one in my family is in entertainment. They thought acting was a fun hobby, and when I got a degree, I’d settle down.”
“I never, never lend any of my own clothes for parts any more because you lose your clothes; they become the characters’ clothes, and you can never wear them again.”
“I don’t think there’s any show comparable to ‘Game of Thrones’ in terms of the way it does the fantasy element to such a high standard: everything is created with so much care and detail. You really feel like you are transported into this entirelyother fictional place.”
“On ‘Chatroom,’ everyone was so nice, and we had a really great time together; we were around the same age and got on really well.”
“Stuart Murdoch is a really special human being – really creative, but also really kind and gentle.”
“I’m not a trained singer at all. I’ve auditioned on occasion for proper musical theatre-type stuff, but I can’t read music, and I wasn’t particularly good at it.”
“Turns out you have a really fun time if you go to work every day and focus on being silly and funny and happy!”
“I wonder if I maybe have a natural floatiness that comes through in everyone I play.”
Hannah once described herself as being shy and less inclined to talk to people she didn’t know, yet on our television screens, she exudes such a powerful character most people would love to identify with.
Hannah Murray is capable of speaking the English, Scottish, German, French languages all with ease.
