Set in the 1980s, Joan stars Sophie Turner as Joan Hannington, “a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter, Kelly, but is trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent criminal named Gary.” When the opportunity arises, Joan decides to make a better life for herself and her daughter by becoming a master jewel thief.
“Through her sharp intelligence, charm, and talent for impersonation and performance, we follow the twists and turns in Joan’s life, the ups and downs, the heartache, and the joy that makes this story so compelling to follow,” per the show’s synopsis.
Written by Anna Symon and directed by Richard Laxton, Joan stars Frank Dillane as Boisie, Kirsty J. Curtis as Nancy, Gershwyn Eustache Jr. as Albie, and Laura Aikman as Val.
Joan is produced by Snowed-In Productions and executive produced by Ruth Kenley-Letts, Jenny Van Der Lande, Neil Blair, and Richard Laxton. Joan has been commissioned for ITVX by Head of Drama Polly Hill. The series is produced in association with All3Media International and The CW Network.

To clean up this magical mess, Vikram is given a new team of Librarians.
