Suranne Jones is set to star in a brand new upcoming ITV series, and it's out sooner than you think. The Gentleman Jack actress, who is adored for her many big parts in popular TV series, will be leading the cast of Maryland – a new show which focuses on the bond between two sisters.
The Doctor Foster star is taking on the role of Becca, a mother-of-two, opposite House of the Dragon and Nurse Jackie actor Eve Best, who plays her sister, Rosaline.
