TIME 100 Next's yearly list of 100 inspirational people was unveiled Wednesday (September 13). In 2019, Time launched the list as part of their effort to evolve how their news magazine tells stories. With its Time100 feature, the publication spotlights those who have "achieved peak influence in their fields." Besides reflecting on the present, Time expresses that their choices should "push us forward, showing what is possible as well as what society’s future and future leaders" in health, climate, business, sports, the arts, and more will look like.

As the publication states on its website, making this list requires research and reporting across Time’s global network of editors and correspondents. They sift through hundreds of suggestions and then meet to debate who belongs on the list. Editorial editor Caye Matthews says, "Through this process, we get to know so many extraordinary leaders who are creating change across the world. Our hope is that this list offers a glimpse into their important work." And so, Time put together this list of a growing variety of rising individuals whose talents and achievements complement the group as a whole.

Last year's list featured Keke Palmer, Sydney Sweeney, Machine Gun Kelly, Jack Harlow, Jonathan Majors, and SZA, just to name a few highlights. All of these actors and musicians have had a standout year -- for various reasons -- since last year's feature in the publication. For example, multi-talented entertainer Palmer starred in Jordan Peele’s 2022 film Nope. In 2023, she debuted her first studio album in almost a decade, titled Big Boss. The artist, who made her directorial debut with the album's accompanying visual film, is currently on a US tour across eight cities.

After giving birth to her first child, son Leodis Andrellton Jackson in February with boyfriend Darius Jackson, Keke's relationship made headlines when Jackson shamed her outfit she wore at an Usher concert. The two have since made up, but not before Keke capitalized on the situation by starring in Usher's music video for "Boyfriend."

The 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' star began her career in experimental theater before starring on Broadway. Hsu, 34, has since starred in a variety of film and television roles, including 'Joy Ride,' 'Poker Face,' 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,' and the upcoming film 'The Fall Guy' alongside Ryan Gosling. Hsu's 'Poker Face' co-star Natasha Lyonne told 'Time100' that when Hsu told her, “No one but me gets to define my future or limitations," it blew her away. Lyonne recognizes Hsu's talent backs up her ambitions and that is a very rare gift of self-worth and awareness of her limitless potential.

The 'Last of Us' star is just 19 years old and has already had roles in 'Game of Thrones' (at just 11 years old), 'His Dark Materials' and 'The Worst Witch.' With just one season down for 'The Last of Us,' and the actor already received a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award. Ramsey is described by 'House of the Dragon' star Emma D'Arcy as someone being radically honest. "Onscreen and off, their remarkable power is in an outright refusal of pretense or persona, choosing instead the riskier path: candor, generosity, and the bravery to be," D'Arcy says of Remsey.

The 'Stranger Things' star is also a singer. Her last name does, in fact, come from her father, actor Ethan Hawke. He shares Maya with his ex-wife, Uma Thurman, and the resemblance is uncanny. The 25-year-old made her debut as a model at first, then starred in the 2017 BBC adaptation of 'Little Women.' After being cast on Netflix's 'Stranger Things' as Robin, Hawke landed a role in Wes Anderson's 2023 film, 'Asteroid City.' 'Do Revenge' director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson describes her star as a "dream collaborator" because she is wise and has a fearless vision of her own.

Hailey Bieber is a true businesswoman. The model and Rhode Skin founder also has a YouTube page where she invites famous pals to her kitchen, shares her skincare routine, and fashion fails. Model Ashley Graham, who was a guest on Bieber's YouTube episode in her bathroom, tells 'Time100' that she is "a Renaissance woman." Despite everything that Bieber juggles as a creator and a founder, Graham says she still manages to stay true to herself: "sweet, kind, and genuine—a total girl’s girl—all the time."
