Corlett was born and raised on the Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia, with his parents being a counsellor and a tradesman. He was a professional model before he became an actor, working for Viviens Models. Corlett also had a high level involvement in sport growing up; he was captain of his school team at both rugby and basketball.

In 2020, Corlett secured a recurring role as Caliban (Prince of Hell) for 14 episodes of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina opposite Kiernan Shipka, which was filmed in Vancouver, Canada. Corlett plays the main role as Leif Erikson in History's Vikings sequel Vikings: Valhalla, which aired on Netflix in 2022. Corlett teams up with Leo Suter who plays Harald Sigurdsson and Frida Gustavsson as Freydís Eiríksdóttir in the Viking saga, set in a time over a century after the Lothbrok era. Eriksson was believed to be one of the first Europeans to explore North America. In 2025, Corlett was nominated for a Logie award for his work on the Netflix series Territory.

Whilst filming Vikings: Valhalla at Ashford Studios in Wicklow, Ireland, Corlett started his working day with meditation, followed by a 7 km run, then a swim in the Irish Sea and some weight training each evening. Corlett is a vegan; he gained around in weight for the Valhalla role by eating a diet of stir-fries, containing bean sprouts, microgreens and kimchi, along with organic vegan protein, brown rice and peas. As Corlett was uncomfortable wearing real leather, he was provided with Desserto based body armour, a type of artificial leather made from cacti.
