For most of her career, Maia Reficco has been the scene stealer. She was the friend with the sharpest lines and the supporting player people mentioned on the way out of the cinema. The Last Sunrise changes that. The romantic drama landed on Amazon Prime Video in August 2026 with her name at the top. It asks a question her résumé has been building toward for years: can she carry a film on her own?
The answer looks like yes. To see why, you have to go back further than her Hollywood credits, to a music-filled house in Buenos Aires.

Born in Boston, raised in Buenos Aires
Reficco was born in Boston, and her family moved to Buenos Aires when she was around six. That move matters more than most biography details do. It gave her two languages and two cultures. Later it gave her two separate entertainment industries to work in, which few performers her age can claim.
Her mother, Katie Viqueira, is a singer and vocal coach who runs her own Center for Vocal Art in Argentina. You don't need much imagination to see where the musical instinct came from. Her father, Ezequiel Reficco, stays out of the public eye. Her younger brother Joaquin also has an interest in music, though he keeps a much lower profile than his sister.
An instrument cupboard of a childhood
Plenty of actors say they sing. Reficco plays guitar, piano, saxophone and ukulele. She went back to her birth city on a scholarship to Berklee College of Music's Young Performers Program. She also trained with vocal coach Eric Vetro, whose clients have included Ariana Grande and Camila Cabello, and with Argentine musician Claudia Brant.
That training is the quiet engine behind everything that followed. It explains why casting directors keep putting her in roles that need a voice as well as a face.
Nickelodeon made her famous in one hemisphere
Her first big break came in 2017. She was cast as Kally Ponce, the lead of Nickelodeon Latin America's Kally's Mashup. The show ran from 2017 to 2019, and it made her a household name across Latin America. Several Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards followed.
For a teenager, that is a huge start. It is also a regional one. Plenty of Latin American youth stars never cross over. Reficco did, and fairly quickly.
2022, when everyone else caught up
The crossover year was 2022. First came Netflix's dark comedy Do Revenge, where she played Montana Ruiz opposite Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke. Then came the role most English-speaking viewers still know her for: Noa Olivar in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin on HBO Max. The series ran for two seasons through 2024 and built her a loyal fanbase.
The screen work kept coming. She appeared alongside KJ Apa and Eric Dane in One Fast Move (2024) for Prime Video, then in La Dolce Villa in 2025. If you have your own list of TV performers who earned a bigger spotlight, vote for the best actors on TV and make your case.
The stage résumé is the real tell
Here's what separates Reficco from the usual streaming-era rising star. She played Young Eva Perón in the Encores! production of Evita at New York City Center in 2019. She played Natalie in Next to Normal at the Kennedy Center. And in 2024 she made her official Broadway debut as Eurydice in Hadestown, opposite Jordan Fisher.
Eurydice is not a role you bluff your way through. Eight shows a week, and every one depends on your voice. Landing it says more about her range than any single TV credit could.
The Last Sunrise, and what comes after
The Last Sunrise is based on Anna Todd's bestselling novel and directed by Carlson Young. Reficco plays Oriah "Ry" Pera, a college student living with a chronic illness. Ry spends a summer in Mallorca with her mother, played by Eva Longoria, and falls for a charismatic local named Julian, played by Fernando Lindez.
It climbed the Prime Video charts after its August release. The casting makes sense on paper. The role needs someone who can play vulnerability without tipping into melodrama, and Reficco has spent years in parts that demand emotional control.
Next up is A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, another adaptation of a popular novel, now in post production. She plays Lila Reyes. A project titled Baton is also listed as being in the works. Two novel adaptations in a row suggests a clear strategy: build an audience among readers who already love the source material.
The money: an estimate, not a fact
Reficco has never published her earnings, so no official figure exists. Icon Polls estimates her 2026 net worth at $2 million to $4 million. That range reflects several income streams:
- Two seasons of Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin
- Film roles for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, including her first lead
- Her Broadway run in Hadestown
- Music released through Sony Music Latin and Deep Well Records
- Brand work with names including Revolve and Marc Jacobs Fragrances
Treat the range as a sensible guess, not a balance sheet. Leading roles usually pay better than supporting ones, so the figure has room to grow if her upcoming films land.
The part she keeps to herself
Reficco is not married. Beyond that, she keeps her private life private. Fans and gossip pages have linked her to various people over the years, but she hasn't made a habit of discussing relationships publicly. So we won't treat speculation as fact. Her career is the more interesting story anyway.
