Angela Black
Three-time Emmy nominee Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey’s Anna Bates) stars in the title role in Angela Black, created by Emmy winners Harry and Jack Williams (Fleabag, The Missing).
Trapped in a relationship she cannot escape, Angela is approached out of the blue by Ed, a private investigator, who spills her husband’s darkest secrets.
Critics’ Choice Super nominee Michiel Huisman (Alex Sokolov in The Flight Attendant and Game of Thrones’ Daario Naharis) co-stars as her husband, Olivier, with BAFTA nominee Samuel Adewunmi (Secret Invasion, The Last Tree) as Ed.
The Guardian calls Froggatt’s performance “tremendous”, Financial Times says Adewunmi is “terrific”, and New York Post hails the series as “chilling”.
