Here’s a first look at buzzy Sky/Starz series Sweetpea starring Fallout’s Ella Purnell. Penned and EP’d by Pure writer Kirstie Swain, Sweetpea follows Rhiannon Lewis, who doesn’t make much of an impression – people walk past her in the street without a second glance, she’s continually overlooked for a promotion at work, the guy she likes won’t commit, and her dad is really sick.

The series, which will launch in October, is based on the cult novel by C.J. Skuse. Starz jumped aboard as U.S. co-producer last month and Power of the Dog maker See-Saw Films is producing with its new Patrick Walters-led label fanboy.
