Fans have binged this unique, darkly comic thriller and they can’t wait to see what Rhiannon will do next. Alongside our producing partners at See-Saw Films, and Starz in the US, we are thrilled to bring this gem of a show back for a second series.”
“Ella Purnell’s killer performance captured the journey of a woman finally finding her voice, and we’re thrilled with the response from critics and viewers” said Alison Hoffman, President at Starz Networks.
