All-Female Ensemble Pulls Off Daring Heist in New ITV Drama 'Frauds'
16 Oct
Summary
- Jodie Whittaker and Suranne Jones lead ensemble cast
- Frauds flips the heist genre by featuring a female team
- Characters are financially motivated, not just driven by desperation
In a departure from the typical male-dominated heist narratives, the new ITV drama 'Frauds' is set to captivate audiences with its all-female ensemble cast. Premiering in the UK earlier this month, the series follows a group of women who team up to pull off a daring criminal scheme.
Headlined by Jodie Whittaker, known for her role as the Doctor in 'Doctor Who,' and Suranne Jones, who co-created the show, the cast also includes Elizabeth Berrington, Kate Fleetwood, and Talisa Garcia. According to Whittaker, the characters' motivations for joining the heist are refreshingly different from the usual tropes. "Very often, with female characters it's because you're wanting to feed your children at home, or you've been left in a destitute scenario," she explains. "I love the fact that actually, some of us here are just financially motivated and it's ego-based, that is very refreshing."
The series, produced by Monumental Television in association with Jones' indie TeamAkers, is set to air internationally after its successful debut on ITV in the UK. With its unique twist on the heist genre and a talented ensemble cast, 'Frauds' promises to captivate audiences worldwide.
