ELLA PRUNELL'S SWEETPEA RENEWED FOR SECOND SERIES ON SKY

Sky announces that ‘coming-of-rage’ Sky Original comedy thriller Sweetpea will return for a second killer series. Sweetpea is produced by See-Saw Films and fanboy in association with Sky Studios.

Series 2 will see Rhiannon Lewis return with a vengeance as her killer secret continues to spiral, and she becomes more twisted than ever. Ella Purnell said; “Being part of Rhiannon’s coming-of-rage journey has been a career highlight for me, and to see fans engage with and relate to our oddball Rhiannon, in all her complexity, feels truly special.  I cannot wait for audiences to see what she does next. Stay tuned.”

In the first series, 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?

The ensemble cast of the first series includes Nicôle Lecky (Mood, Sense8) as Julia, Jon Pointing (Big Boys, Smothered) as Craig, Calam Lynch (Bridgerton) as AJ, Leah Harvey (Foundation) as Marina. Also starring Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso) as Norman and Dustin Demri-Burns (Slow Horses) as Jeff.

Sweetpea is available now on Sky and NOW.
