EXCLUSIVE: Mare of Easttown actor Julianne Nicholson has landed the lead role in the BBC‘s upcoming crime drama series Dope Girls, we can reveal.
Eliza Scanlan, Umi Myers, Eilidh Fisher and Geraldine James have also landed major parts in the series, which we first told you about back in March.
At the time, our sources said the BBC sees Dope Girls as a spiritual successor to Peaky Blinders, which ended last year. Filming on the show, which is set in London’s Soho in the early 20th century, when female gangs ran the clubs, drugs and moonshine, is now underway.
It will launch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, and comes from Polly (The Face, The Neon Demon) and Alex Warren (Eleanor). Nicholson will play Kate Galloway, a single mother who establishes a nightclub amidst the hedonistic uproar of post-World War One London, embracing a life of criminal activities with the dedicated aim of providing for her daughter Evie, played by Fisher (The Power).
