Joan

Defined by shoulder pads, cut-crease eyeshadow, stone-washed denim and statement haircuts, the unmistakable 1980s aesthetic is a gift for television. We’ve seen 80s Bristol in The Fence, London’s 80s gay scene in It’s a Sin and the early Diana years in The Crown. Now it’s the turn of London’s elite criminals in Joan.

Turner (Game of Thrones) will star as Joan Hannington, a woman who catapults herself from penniless young mother to notorious jewel thief.

Joan is a bold and brash mother in her twenties, trapped in a catastrophically unsuccessful marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. When Gary’s criminal activities go a step too far and he is forced to go on the run, Joan takes the chance for a new life with her daughter.
