Gemma Arterton Joins The Disney+ Heist Series CULPRITS
Gemma Arterton is set to star alongside Eddie Izzard in the upcoming Disney+ heist series Culprits, which comes from J Blakeson. The series also stars Cruella’s Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Deceit’s Niamh Algar, The Insult’s Kamel El Basha, newcomer Tara Abboud, Ned Dennehy (Good Omens) and Kevin Vidal (Strays).
The series is described as a “dark and funny heist series,” and the story follows the aftermath of a heist, with the crew being picked off one-by-one by what appears to be a serial killer. Arterton will play Dianne, who is a member of a heist crew that is being targeted by a killer after each went their separate ways.
It was previously announced that Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Candyman) would take on the lead role of Joe in the series. The eight-episode series started production this week.
Blakeson will direct the first five episodes of the show, while Claire Oakley (Make Up) is going to direct the remaining three.
