Sophie Turner on Playing a Glamorous Diamond Thief Fighting for Custody of Her Child in British Crime Drama ‘Joan’: ‘I Had That Maternal Ferocity in Me’


Sophie Turner, who plays a diamond thief in British drama 'Joan,' teases Eighties outfits, maternal instinct and 'Game of Thrones.'

Sophie Turner returns to the small screen with a sparkle in “Joan,” a new drama about a jewellery thief so prolific she became known as “the Godmother” in Britain’s criminal underworld. But despite her aptitude for pilfering wigs, diamonds and fake accents, “Joan” is as much a story about the lengths a mother will go to for her child (played by Mia Millichamp-Long) as it is a heist caper. I was doing a TV show that I just wrapped and then I’ve got a new project coming with Kit Harington called “The Dreadful.” It’s a somewhat Robert Eggers-esque horror set around the time of the War of the Roses.
