Starz has landed the U.S. and Canada rights to a British revenge thriller starring Fallout’s Ella Purnell.
The premium cable outlet will air Sweetpea later this year. The drama is based on a 2017 novel by C.J. Skuse and stars Purnell as a quiet young woman who develops a taste for murder. Purnell is also an executive producer.
The series from See-Saw Films, Fanboy and Sky Studios is also set to air on Sky Atlantic in the U.K.
“We’re excited to partner again with Ella Purnell and Sky Studios on such a fresh, boundary-breaking story,” said Alison Hoffman, president domestic networks at Starz. “This darkly comedic tale of revenge is sure to thrill viewers, as is Ella’s performance as a woman who finds her voice and claims her agency in ways that are devious and shocking.”
