Sophie Turner is back and this time, she’s gone full-on glamorous klepto in her new ITVX series “Joan.” Yes, you heard that right—our very own Sansa Stark has traded in her direwolves for diamond heists!
On a perfectly ordinary Tuesday (June 25, in case you forgot), Sophie decided to grace the social media world with a sneak peek of herself as the notorious jewel thief, Joan Hannington. And let me tell you, it’s the kind of teaser that makes you want to lock up your valuables and double-check your life choices.
The trailer serves up a buffet of Joan’s many identities: she’s a “Mother, Lover, Liar, and Thief.” It’s like a soap opera and a heist movie had a fabulous, 80s-inspired love child.
The official description paints the series as an “exhilarating yet emotional story set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1980s.” Think neon leg warmers, big hair, and bigger crimes. The plot kicks off when Joan’s hubby decides to pull a Houdini, vanishing and leaving Joan to reinvent herself and provide for her daughter. So, naturally, she turns to a thrilling life of high-stakes theft. Because, why not?
The synopsis gushes about Joan’s epic journey, full of heart-pounding moments and emotional roller coasters, all driven by her fierce mama-bear instincts to protect and provide for her daughter. Imagine Oceans 11, but with more hairspray and maternal instinct.
Mark your calendars for September, because that’s when “Joan” will strut its stuff on the small screen. We got wind of Sophie’s involvement in this glamorous project back in May 2023, and it’s safe to say the anticipation has been like waiting for winter in Westeros.
Oh, and did we mention this is Sophie’s first major gig since she and Joe Jonas called it quits last year? So, if you’re looking for drama, excitement, and a dash of post-breakup empowerment, “Joan” is your ticket to ride. Grab your popcorn—this one’s going to be a gem!
