Sophie Turner in dramatic first look at Joan, ITVX drama about jewel thief
The upcoming series is inspired by a true story.
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is front and centre in an exciting teaser trailer for ITV drama Joan.
Inspired by the autobiography of Joan Hannington, which declared her to be "Britain's most notorious jewel thief", the series delves into the difficult circumstances that led her to a life of crime in 1980s London.
The teaser showcases her knack for impersonation and disguises, which she used to great effect in acquiring her stolen goods, but also places emphasis on her role as "a devoted young mother, desperate to escape a disastrous relationship".
You can watch the intriguing first look at Joan below:
The ITV synopsis reads: "When her partner Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the chance to start a new life with her six-year-old daughter, Kelly.
"Delving deeper into the criminal underworld, Joan meets Boisie, an enigmatic antiques dealer whose allure introduces her to new levels of danger and passion.
"Through sharp intelligence, irresistible charm, and a talent for impersonation, Joan’s journey is a high-stakes game of survival and reinvention. Every heist and every stolen diamond is driven by her singular purpose: to create a secure future for her daughter."
