**London, UK** – The highly anticipated crime drama “Joan,” starring Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner, has finally revealed its premiere date.

Turner takes on the role of Hannington, a daring criminal who navigates the dangerous world of theft while trying to regain custody of her daughter. The series promises a thrilling exploration of Hannington’s life, featuring her iconic 1980s style and a glimpse into the seedy underbelly of London’s criminal underworld.
“I’m so excited to be bringing Joan Hannington’s fascinating life story to screen in Joan,” shared Turner. “She is one of the most notorious figures in the criminal underworld of London, earning her the nickname ‘The Godmother’.”
“Joan” is an international co-production based on Hannington’s 2004 memoir “I Am What I Am: The True Story of Britain’s Most Notorious Jewel Thief.” The series also stars Frank Dillane, Kirsty J Curtis, Gershwyn Eustache Jr, Tomi May, Laura Aikman, and Alex Blake.
The series has already garnered praise from The CW entertainment chief Brad Schwartz, who described Turner’s performance as “phenomenal.” “That is going to be awards bait, that show,” he said. “The dailies look amazing, Sophie Turner is phenomenal… I’m really, really excited about that one.”
“Joan” will be broadcast on The CW in the US, adding to the international buzz surrounding the series.
