Ella Purnell on Terrifying Onlookers While Researching Serial Killers for ‘Sweetpea,’ Finding Her Voice as Producer and How She’s Prepping for ‘Fallout’ Season 2


'Fallout' star Ella Purnell discusses how she became a producer for the Sky/Starz serial killer comedy 'Sweetpea' and developing her character.

A year on, the darkly comic “ Sweetpea ” — in which she stars as Rhiannon, an unassuming and under-appreciated young woman who eventually snaps and takes it upon herself to murder those who have wronged her — is landing on Starz and Sky on Thursday. Last month, she attended the Venice Film Festival as a guest of Armani Beauty for the hot ticket world premiere of the extremely buzzy “Babygirl.” Sadly, a “wardrobe malfunction” meant she didn’t make it beyond the red carpet. In the meantime, with her first major credit as a “very active” exec produce about to launch, plus the return to a starring role in one of TV’s biggest shows on the horizon — and a small feature to keep the indie fires burning — Purnell is very happy to enjoy this potentially career-changing moment while looking out for future opportunities.
