Ella Purnell & Kirstie Swain On “Not Being Afraid To Look Ugly” & “S**t Britishness” In ‘Sweetpea’
Ella Purnell has talked 'Sweetpea' & drawing on experience gained from 'Yellowjackets' along with working Kirstie Swain.
Penned by Pure’s Kirstie Swain and produced by Patrick Walters for See-Saw Films ‘ label Fanboy, Sweetpea sees Rhiannon reach breaking point after compiling a Kill List that then becomes all too real. Swain and the creative team faced the challenge of transmitting the deep, dark thoughts of a first-person narrator from a book onto the small screen, but the scribe said she was always against voiceover, as she cited the likes of Barry and Fargo as key influences. Having spent the past few years mostly working in LA, she welcomed the opportunity to return to her native London to film Sweetpea, a show that she said is imbued with “politeness” and a sense of “s**t Britishness.” She stars opposite British breakouts such as Mood ‘sNicôle Lecky, Big Boys Jon Pointing and Bridgerton ‘sCalam Lynch.
