Hana Sofia was born and raised in Luxembourg, from Portuguese parents.[2] Her mother's family moved to English-speaking Canada in the 1970s. During her childhood Hana spent the summer holidays in Canada with her maternal family. She has an older brother called Nino.[3]

After her high school degree at the Athénée de Luxembourg, she studied at the Lisbon Theatre and Film School[4], from which she graduated in 2012. As part of the Erasmus program, she performed a one-year university exchange at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in Madrid (RESAD), Spain in 2011.[5]

She then studied at the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique, France's National Drama Academy in Paris,[6] in the classes of Daniel Mesguich, Sandy Ouvrier and French choreographer Caroline Marcadé, among others.

During a performance of the Marriage of Figaro[6] at the Paris Drama Academy in 2014, film director Marco Serafini sees her performance on stage and decides to cast her in the leading female role in Toy Gun, a feature film that he is then developing.[7] In this film, she plays the leading female role alongside John Hannah, Anthony LaPaglia and Julian Sands.[8] Her performance in this film has landed her a Best Actress nomination at the Luxembourg Film Awards, the Lëtzebuerger Filmpräis, in 2018.[9]

In 2017, she made an appearance in the German TV series Bad Banks directed by German director Christian Schwochow.[10] The series was broadcast on ARTE and German broadcaster Zdf. This show marks Hana's first performance in a German-language project.[11]

Subsequently, she played a Spanish anarchist in the Belgian-Spanish film Escapada directed by Sarah Hirtt. Spanish actors Sergi López and María León are also part of the cast.[12]

In 2017 she was part of the cast of Arthur Miller's The Crucible,[13] directed by the English director Douglas Rintoul. The premiere took place at Queen's Theater, Hornchurch in London.[14] In 2018, she played the lead role in the French play Intranquillités, based on the Book of Disquiet by Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa, staged in Luxembourg.

In 2018, she starred alongside Juliette Lewis and Henry Rollins in the Canadian film Dreamland directed by Bruce McDonald.[15]

Meanwhile, she has also built a career in Portugal. Her roles in the prime time TV series Mar Salgado (2015) and Coração d'Ouro (2016), co-produced by TV Globo and viewed daily by nearly 2 million viewers[16], have made her well known to audiences in Portugal.[17] In 2017, she played queen Elizabeth of Aragon, the queen of Portugal in the historical series Ministério do Tempo broadcast on RTP[18].
