Actress Ella Purnell, known for her role in Amazon’s “Fallout”, is garnering further praise for her performance in the new Starz series “Sweetpea”. The show has debuted to rave reviews, earning a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a score comparable to “Fallout’s” 94%. Critics have lauded Purnell’s acting, the show’s writing, and its gripping conclusion, prompting calls for a second season.
“Sweetpea” tells the story of Rhiannon Lewis (Purnell), a seemingly ordinary woman whose life takes a dark turn, leading her down a path of power and secrets. Described as a “deliciously addictive” series, “Sweetpea” has been praised for its compelling narrative, engaging characters, and Purnell’s portrayal of a complex protagonist.
The show, created by Kirstie Swain, is based on the book by CJ Skuse. Alongside Purnell, the cast includes Nicôle Lecky, Jon Pointing, Calam Lynch, Leah Harvey, Jeremy Swift, Dustin Demri-Burns, Luke McGibney, and Ingrid Oliver.
While Purnell is currently preparing for her return as a main character in “Fallout”, “Sweetpea” marks another successful project for the actress. She has also starred in “Sweetbitter”, “Star Trek: Prodigy”, “Yellowjackets”, and voices a main role in Netflix’s “Arcane”.
“Sweetpea” is currently streaming on Starz.
