Jodie Comer has several exciting projects on the way, including the films The Death of Robin Hood and Stuffed, and a new TV series called The Chain – her first in five years. But if you can’t wait to see her shine, we have the perfect movie recommendation for this Bank Holiday weekend!

Released in January 2024, the survival drama The End We Start From takes place after a major environmental disaster floods London. The story follows a young mother (played by Jodie Comer) as she navigates the aftermath with her newborn baby, trying to find a safe haven and adjust to motherhood while dealing with the crisis and a fractured family.

In an interview with Digital Spy, Jodie Comer shared that she was instantly drawn to the film because of its director, Mahalia Belo. She explained she was deeply touched by the story and eager to discuss Belo’s vision for the movie as soon as possible.
