Ella Purnell as Rhiannon Lewis in Sweetpea poster
Well, it only took one episode for my big fear to come true in Sweetpea, Ella Purnell's new dark comedy airing on Starz. Purnell has been on a hot streak as of late, leading two highly-rated video game adaptations, Arcane and Fallout, and serving as a pivotal character in Yellowjackets season 1. She initially caught my attention in Netflix's Army of the Dead, and I'm not surprised to see Purnell's career continue to take off.
Sweetpea Episode 1 Killed Off Rhiannon's Dog Tink Gets Hit By A Car In The Sweetpea Premiere Like the book on which Sweetpea is based, Rhiannon has a little dog that serves as her trusty companion. After Rhiannon's father tragically passes away, the dog Tink is even brought to the funeral, wearing a cute little bow tie. Without her dad, Tink quickly becomes the only bright spot in Rhiannon's life and a source of comfort that many dog owners, including myself, can acknowledge.
Following her father's death, Rhiannon's emotional spiral is made worse by a few factors, including the return of her former bully, Julia. The woman is not only back in town, but Rhiannon's own sister orchestrates a plan to sell their dad's home with Julia's help. While looking at a billboard of Julia outside of the bus stop, Rhiannon drops Tink's leash before he unexpectedly runs into traffic and is killed.
