Early life
Career
In 2017, she appeared in the feature-length film Teenosaurus Rex alongside Jan Josef Liefers as his daughter Carla.[2] Herbig-Matten had a breakout role playing Tina in Bibi & Tina – Die Serie and the spin-off film Bibi & Tina – Einfach anders.[3][4]

In 2024, she could be seen in a lead role in the Amazon Prime Video romantic drama Maxton Hall — The World Between Us.[8] She described her character to Who (magazine) as a "real fighter and kind of a nerd" drawn to an unlikely romance with moneyed aristocrat James Beaufort and she said the "special part of this love story is that she is falling in love with his emotional and broken side and not with his narcissistic and arrogant part, and so that's why it's not a toxic relationship".[9] The series topped Prime Video viewing charts in 120 countries and was renewed for a second series in May 2024.[10][11]
In 2025, she appeared in on Apple TV+’s first original German-language series Where's Wanda?, which was also renewed for a second season.[12]
