STARZ has finally unveiled the trailer for Sweetpea, an upcoming “coming-of-rage” thriller series starring Yellowjackets and Fallout’s Ella Purnell as a woman who sometimes likes to make a list of people she’d like to kill.
Set to arrive on October 10, the six-part series is based on C.J. Skuse’s cult novel of the same name. It is written and executive produced by Kirstie Swain. In addition to starring, Purnell also served as one of the show’s executive producers.
What happens in Sweetpea trailer?
The first trailer for Sweetpea introduces Purnell’s Rhiannon Lewis, whose narration of herself tells viewers that she sometimes likes to “make a list of people who made [her] feel invisible.” She begins to give an example of people included in her list, revealing that the people featured on her list are the ones she’d like to kill. Rhiannon then claims that she’s not a victim — or, at least, not anymore — as she starts her journey of actually killing people that get in her way.
Rhiannon appears incapable of killing, but she is not to be underestimated, according to herself. The official synopsis for Sweetpea reads as follows:
“Rhiannon Lewis doesn’t make much of an impression — people walk past her in the street without a second glance. She’s continually overlooked for a promotion at work, the guy she likes won’t commit, and her dad is really, really sick. Then everything in her life turns upside down. Rhiannon is pushed over the edge and loses control. Suddenly the wallflower is gone, and in its place is a young woman capable of anything… Rhiannon’s life transforms as she steps into a new, intoxicating power, but can she keep her killer secret?”
Sweetpea also stars Nicôle Lecky (Sense8) as Julia, Jon Pointing (Big Boys) as Craig, Calam Lynch (Bridgerton) as AJ, Leah Harvey (Foundation) as Marina, Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso) as Norman, and Dustin Demri-Burns (Slow Horses) as Jeff.
Sweetpea premieres on STARZ on October 10.
