DESCRIPTION:
(from The CW's press release, May 2023) Sophie Turner ("Game of Thrones," X-Men: Dark Phoenix, "The Staircase") stars as notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington in this exhilarating yet emotional story set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1980s - an era known for its bold fashion trends, iconic music and cultural shifts. The series opens with Joan, a fiery and uncompromising woman in her twenties who is deeply scarred and vulnerable. She is a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter, Kelly, but is trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter. Adopting new identities and making new acquaintances along the way, Joan becomes a masterful jewel thief. She embarks on a thrilling, high-stakes journey that challenges her every limit, driven by her desire to care for her daughter and create a secure home for them both. Through her sharp intelligence, charm and talent for impersonation and performance, we follow the twists and turns in Joan's life, the ups and downs, the heartache and the joy that makes this story so compelling to follow. Turner stars alongside Frank Dillane ("Fear the Walking Dead") as Boisie, a London antique dealer. Kirsty J. Curtis ("Match Not Found") plays Nancy, Joan's older sister and salon worker while Gershwyn Eustache Jr. ("I May Destroy You") portrays Albie, an old acquaintance of Boisie who's made a new life in Spain with his wife Val, played by Laura Aikman ("The Split"). JOAN is written by acclaimed screenwriter Anna Symon ("Mrs. Lowry & Son") and directed by BAFTA award-winner Richard Laxton ("Rain Dogs"). The series is from Snowed-In Productions and executive produced by Ruth Kenley-Letts ("Stonehouse"), Jenny Van Der Lande ("Strike"), Neil Blair ("The Midwich Cuckoos") and Richard Laxton. Paul Frift ("Anansi Boys") serves as producer. JOAN has been commissioned for ITVX by Head of Drama Polly Hill. The series is produced in association with All3Media International and The CW Network. All3Media International is responsible for the international distribution of the drama.
