Daisy Ridley To Lend Her Voice For New Audible Original, Islanders

Daisy Ridley will be lending her voice to the new Audible Original drama Islanders. The young actress will be teaming with Elinor Cook, a writer on season 3 of Killing Eve, for the new series.

In this new creation, “The Audible Emerging Playwright commission tells the story of a young woman, performed by Ridley, who has always felt invisible. When she becomes a contestant on a televised dating show, she’s thrust into a manufactured paradise. To remain in the game, she tries on different personas and partners. But as the days – or weeks – pass and the lines between truth and fiction blur, she must confront her long-held anxieties about identity and the desire to be seen…all while the cameras are rolling.”

Daisy spoke about her experience recording the project from her home in London. She stated, “I really enjoyed performing Elinor Cook’s Islanders. Coming from a group working environment, it’s very rare to have to perform a piece, uninterrupted, but I found the creative process to be challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Elinor’s writing is beautiful, and she manages to convey incredible depth, even through the facade of a constructed reality TV show. I feel really lucky I was able to explore this piece with Elinor and the Audible team.”

Islanders will drop on September 10.
