Turner posted a sneak peek of her new drama, Joan, via Instagram on June 25. The Game of Thrones alum plays Joan Hannington, the notorious British diamond thief. The six-episode series is set in the 1980s, and the show’s official synopsis describes Joan as a “fiery, uncompromising and intoxicating character, who is not without her own deep scars and vulnerability.”
When Joan is released in the fall, fans will see the project that kept Turner on set in September 2023 amid her divorce from Joe Jonas. Turner and Jonas share daughters Willa and Delphine. She called that time 'the worst few days of my life.' “I remember I was on set, I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out,” she recalled to British Vogue in May.Joan is scheduled for a September release via ITVX, the streaming platform for the UK’s ITV network. It will premiere on The CW in the United States on October 2.Turner shared a first-look trailer for Joan via her Instagram in June.
Kirsty J. Curtis plays Nancy, a salon worker and Joan's older sister, while Gershwyn Eustache Jnr portrays Albie, a man from Boisie’s past.The series picks up at a time when Joan is in a particularly vulnerable spot. Joan, mother to 6-year-old Kelly, is trapped in a “disastrous marriage” with a “violent criminal” named Gary, the synopsis says. Gary goes on the run, and Joan seizes the opening to create a new life for herself and Kelly.
