There’s already a lot of buzz about Joan, an upcoming six-part ITV drama starring Sophie Turner in the title role.

On being cast in the leading role, Turner said: ‘I’m so excited to be bringing Joan Hannington’s fascinating life story to screen in Joan. She is one of the most notorious figures in the criminal underworld of London, earning her the nickname “The Godmother.” A woman who goes between her thriving and daring career as a jewel thief, all whilst trying to get her daughter back from social services, we see a mother in despair swept up in the exhilarating world of crime.’
