Ella Purnell's New Starz Thriller Will Fill The 'Simple Favor' Void In Your Life

STARZ

"It's always the quiet ones" is a phrase I've heard countless times in any thriller, mystery, and horror movie where the most unsuspecting character is behind everything. It's also turned into a bit of a cheeky phrase that lets the audience in on the joke because while the speaker has no idea who they're talking to, the audience is well aware that the quiet wallflower is actually way more powerful than anyone gives them credit for. In Ella Purnell's Sweetpea, coming to STARZ this fall, Rhiannon might be passed over, bullied, and ignored, but she's taking matters into her own hands. And the revenge is, well, sweet. Here's everything you need to know about the new TV show before it becomes your next obsession.


What is Sweetpea about?

Sweetpea Plot

In Sweetpea, Ella Purnell plays Rhiannon Lewis, who is sick of being overlooked by everyone in her life. But when she decides to take revenge on the people who have wronged her, she realizes just how liberating — and sweet — reclaiming her power can be. Even if it has some murderous consequences. The contemporary dark comedy, and good-girl-gone-wild plot line, is TOTALLY giving A Simple Favor, especially with its touch of femininity.
