OHMYGOSSIP — Joanne Froggatt is set to star in new thriller ‘Angela Black’.
The 40-year-old actress is taking on the title role in ITV’s upcoming Hitchcockian six-part series, which focused on a suburban housewife whose seemingly perfect life isn’t all it appears to be.
Although Angela’s life appears idyllic – with her two sons and charismatic, hard-working husband Olivier (Michiel Huisman) – things aren’t as they seem, as she’s also the victim of domestic abuse.
In a press release, ITV revealed: “Trapped in a relationship she cannot escape, Angela is approached out of the blue by Ed (Samuel Adewunmi), a private investigator, who spills Olivier’s darkest secrets.
“When faced with some horrifying truths about her husband, a stunned Angela is left reeling.
“Can she really trust Ed? Can she leave behind her life as she knows it and finally free herself from Olivier? With one encounter.”
The ‘Liar’ actress described her character as “complex and intriguing” as she hopes audiences will be similarly gripped by her story.
Joanne said: “I am honoured to be working with Two Brothers Pictures again and this important and timely story from the brilliant Harry and Jack Williams is like nothing I’ve read before.
“Angela is a complex and intriguing character and I hope audiences will be immediately drawn into her gripping, and sometimes heart-breaking journey, just as I was.”
Michiel Huisman added: “I’m proud to be part of such a thrilling and clever story with so many twists and turns.
“I can’t wait to take on the role of Olivier and work alongside the incredibly talented Joanne and Samuel.”
‘Angela Black’ is being filmed in London and the surrounding area this month according to the current coronavirus guidelines.
