And we thought Peachy loved diamonds!
Joan Hannington brings the diamond worship to a whole new level in inspiring her namesake character, Joan, perfectly portrayed by stellar talent whom you obviously know though Games of Thrones, Sophie Turner!  The BBC has ALWAYS earned rave reviews from us and we are delighted to return to such a high-quality entertainment brand as the landscape of streaming gets increasingly flooded.  With all you have to wade through, not only should you know that Joan is a shining star but in essence it is exactly like the jewel that is co-starring in this exciting six episode series that you absolutely must see.


Sophie Turner takes the role of Joan Hannington in upcoming drama, Joan, inspired by the life of the UK’s most notorious jewel thief, written by screenwriter Anna Symon, produced by Snowed-in Productions and directed by Richard Laxton. The series opens with Joan, a fiery and uncompromising woman in her twenties who is deeply scarred and vulnerable. She is a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter, Kelly, but is trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter. Adopting new identities and making new acquaintances along the way, Joan becomes a masterful jewel thief. She embarks on a thrilling, high-stakes journey that challenges her every limit, driven by her desire to care for her daughter and create a secure home for them both. Through her sharp intelligence, charm, and talent for impersonation and performance, we follow the twists and turns in Joan’s life, the ups and downs, the heartache and the joy that makes this story so compelling to follow.
