Sophie Turner Lands Lead Role In JOAN For ITV
Sophie Turner has landed a new role! The young actress is set to lead the upcoming six part drama, Joan for ITV, based on the jewel thief Joan Hannington.
This new series “…is set in the brash and aspirational London of the 1980s and follows Turner as criminal Hannington, whose exploits earned her the nickname ‘The Godmother’ in the city’s underworld.” Deadline goes on to say that “…the series begins with Hannington in her twenties in a disastrous marriage to a violent man. When he goes on the run, she sets her sights on a better life for her and daughter Debbie before transforming into an accomplished jewel thief.”
Production is set to get underway in London next Spring.
