Who is Sarah Desjardins? More on the actress:
Sarah Desjardins is a rising star in Hollywood. Her work on the Netflix breakout series The Night Agent, in which she plays Maddie Redfield, daughter of the vice president, has garnered her widespread acclaim. She has also appeared in Riverdale, Under the Banner of Heaven, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Desjardins’s role in this project, Tron: Ares which is the next film in Disney’s Tron series, is definitely a significant one her character has not yet been officially revealed to the public.
