Later this month, I’m eagerly anticipating the premiere of a new series where I get to step into the shoes of the remarkable real-life jewel thief, Joan Hannington. As a mother and a criminal, I find myself juggling two very different worlds – an intriguing blend that promises an enthralling tale!

In the latest backstage photos, Turner can be seen sporting a fur coat while strolling down the street, donning a golden dress at a nightclub, and rocking a vibrant purple attire on the beach.

The series is based on Hannington’s memoir I Am What I Am: The True Story of Britain’s Most Notorious Jewel Thief, with a trailer released last month.

Previously, Turner expressed her enthusiasm about “being thrilled to portray the captivating tale of Joan Hannington on-screen.

The actress shared that she plays a character known as ‘The Godmother’, one of London’s most infamous criminals.

The CW plans to broadcast the show in the U.S., where the network’s head of entertainment, Brad Schwartz, has already given high compliments for Turner’s acting.

He remarked during TV’s Top 5 podcast on The Hollywood Reporter that the show will likely be Oscar-worthy, saying, “The footage looks incredible, and Sophie Turner delivers an exceptional performance. I’m genuinely thrilled about it.
