‘Sweetpea’: Sky & Starz Series Starring Ella Purnell Renewed For Second Season

deadline.com:

Ella Purnell series Sweetpea has been renewed for a second season at Sky/Starz. Penned and EP’d by Pure writer Kirstie Swain, Sweetpea follows Rhiannon Lewis, who 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 sick.

But when she’s pushed over the edge and loses control, the wallflower is gone, replaced by a young woman capable of anything.

The two broadcasters said today in a statement that season two will see “Rhiannon Lewis return with a vengeance as her killer secret continues to spiral, and she becomes more twisted than ever.” Sweetpea is produced by See-Saw Films and its Patrick Walters-led label fanboy outfit in association with Sky Studios.

NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution handle international sales of the series on behalf of Sky Studios. Purnell is one of the hottest TV talents out there at present, having impressed as Jackie Taylor in Paramount+’s Yellowjackets and subsequently led Prime Video’s Fallout video game adaptation.
