As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours navigating the intricate worlds of both Westeros and London’s criminal underbelow through my gaming console, I can confidently say that Sophie Turner’s new role as Joan Hannington in “Joan” promises to be an exhilarating adventure. Having witnessed her exceptional performance as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, I have no doubt that she will bring the same intensity and nuance to this gritty 1980s drama.


Sophie Turner, famously portraying Sansa Stark on HBO’s hit fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” is set to take on a fresh character: Joan Hannington, a significant player in London’s criminal underworld during the 1980s and a notorious diamond thief. She will be appearing in the upcoming TV drama titled “Joan.” Take a peek at the trailer above

Joan will be appearing on ITV in the UK “soon,” but we’re still waiting for the specific air date. The trailer, which features the dramatic “Habanera” tune from Carmen, certainly gives off an air of importance – after all, trailers become more than just previews when they include opera!

From the trailer alone, it appears that the show offers Turner an abundance of dramatic depth to tackle. As the slogan suggests, Joan is a multifaceted character: Mother, Lover, Deceiver, and Thief. The portrayal shows Turner embodying various aspects of these roles, donning different personas for her profession, engaging in romantic entanglements (in real life, Joan Hannington married fellow thief Boisie Hannington), and nurturing her daughter. This promises to be a complex and intriguing narrative!

Sophie Turner was given one Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, but she didn’t take home the award. This happened during the year following Game of Thrones’ final season, when the Emmys recognized the show by nominating four actors in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. Turner, Maisie Williams, Lena Headey, and Gwendoline Christie were all nominated, but they ultimately lost to Julia Garner from Ozark

It seems a bit premature to make predictions, but the acclaim surrounding Turner’s performance in “Joan” has already sparked talk of awards. Perhaps this role could finally earn her the acknowledgement she deserves from her colleagues
