Fallout‘s Ella Purnell returns to star in Starz and Sky’s Sweetpea season two. Filming is now underway in London on the new season of the dark comedy based on C.J. Skuse’s novel.
Additional returning series stars include Jon Pointing (Big Boys), Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso), Leah Harvey (Foundation), Ingrid Oliver (Thursday Murder Club), Nitin Ganatra (Sexy Beast), and Alexandra Dowling (Game of Thrones).
“We are thrilled that Sweetpea and the world of Carnsham are back in full swing for season two, with new and exciting characters for what promises to be an intoxicating ride for Rhiannon as she continues on her murderous journey,” commented executive producers Ella Purnell, Ella Jones, and Patrick Walters. “This season, the stakes are even higher, and as the consequences of her actions begin to close in, questions of morality and justice will come into play.”
Newcomers include Rish Shah as Rhiannon’s romantic interest, Gabriel; Tamsin Greig as AJ’s mother, Liv; Taj Atwal as Freya, Rhiannon’s formidable new boss at the Carnsham Gazette; and Jenny Walser as an adoring new friend, Daisy.
“Killer wallflower Rhiannon Lewis is back in season two of the iconically brazen and darkly comic thriller. Navigating a new promotion, an irresistible rebound, Marina still hot on her trail, her sister selling her family home and a copycat killer threatening to expose her, the kill list is mounting,” reads Starz and Sky’s synopsis. “But now that she’s harnessed her rage and found her power, Rhiannon is forced to question whether her perfect ex AJ, was right: is she a monster?”
Ella Jones and Coky Giedroyc direct season two, and Selina Lim, Emme Hoy, Anna Jordan, and Laura Jayne Tunbridge are the writers. Purnell, Jones, Walters, Helen Gregory, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, and Kirstie Swain executive produce.
“We are delighted to return with some fan favourites and to introduce a brilliant new cast of such high calibre. Sweetpea’s second season will be packed with wickedly funny moments, dynamic storytelling, and as ever, twisted morality,” offered Executive Director of Original Scripted for Sky (UK&I), Meghan Lyvers.
The series is produced by See-Saw Films and fanboy in association with Sky Studios. Zorana Piggott (Heartstopper) serves as a producer.
