The best Daisy Edgar-Jones movies and TV shows highlight just how quickly the star of Twisters, Fresh, and Where the Crawdads Sing has carved out a reputation for playing complex and nuanced characters. Born in London in 1998, Daisy Edgar-Jones found her footing appearing in comedies in dramas in the UK such as Cold Feet, Outnumbered, and Silent Witness. This began to change in 2018 when she led the cast of the indie coming-of-age movie Pond Life - her feature film debut.

From there, Daisy Edgar-Jones found herself taking up central roles in her TV show projects, such as the 2019-2022 adaptation of War of the Worlds, and the 2020 comedy-drama Normal People (for which she was nominated for multiple awards). However, 2022 was the year that her career skyrocketed, with her name gaining significant attention thanks to breakout roles in Fresh and Where The Crawdads Sing.

HBO and BBC period drama Gentleman Jack has been handed a second season. Sally Wainwright’s Suranne Jones-fronted series will return for another eight-part run.

It comes as the Lookout Point-produce drama is still on the air. The series debuted on HBO on April 22 in its new Monday night slot and on the BBC on May 19. It became the BBC’s biggest new drama launch of the year with an average overnight audience of 5.1 million viewers.

Written by Happy Valley creator Wainwright, it tells the story of Anne Lister, played by Jones, who had a passion for life and a mind for business, and bucked society’s expectations at every turn.

Gentleman Jack focuses on Regency landowner Lister in the period drama, which is set in 1832 Halifax, West Yorkshire. She is determined to transform the fate of her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, by reopening the coal mines and marrying well.

Gentleman Jack has become the BBC’s biggest new drama launch of the year and the British broadcaster most successful new scripted series since Jenna Coleman-fronted psychological thriller The Cry.

The HBO co-production, which stars Suranne Jones, scored an average of 5.1M viewers with a peak of 5.6M on Sunday night in a 9pm slot. It secured an average share of 27.2% across the hour.

This comes after Coleman’s Australian-set drama averaged 5.7M viewers last year with a peak of 6.3M, compared with Bodyguard’s opening audience of 6.7M last year.

Gentleman Jack launched on April 22 in HBO’s new Monday night slot. It is created, written and co-directed by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright. The drama, which is produced by War and Peace producer Lookout Point, tells the story of a woman who had a passion for life and a mind for business, and bucked society’s expectations at every turn.

Gentleman Jack, the period drama fronted by Doctor Foster’s Suranne Jones, will debut on HBO on Monday April 22 – marking one of the first scripted series to play in the new premium broadcaster’s new slot.

The series, which is a co-production with the BBC, is created, written and co-directed by Happy Valley’s Sally Wainwright. It will join series including mini-series Chernobyl, Catherine The Great , His Dark Materials and the final season of The Deuce in the newly opened 10pm Monday slot.

The drama, which is produced by War and Peace producer Lookout Point, tells the story of a woman who had a passion for life and a mind for business, and bucked society’s expectations at every turn. The Killing star Sofie Gråbøl and Happy Valley star Katherine Kelly also star.

It will air later this spring on the BBC in the UK.

2 days ago was David Lynch’s birthday. While 2014 was a big year for Twin Peaks fans with the release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery on Blu-Ray, 2016 will see the release of the miniseries continuation of Twin Peaks on Showtime. What’s that mean for 2015? With synth soundtracks becoming all the rage, a lot of indie artists are using the affordability of the low-rent style of synth (trust me, it can get expensive if you want it to) to wax nostalgic and also pay tribute to some of the innovators of the sub-genre.

Retro Promenade released the first of 3 volumes for their tribute of the infamous show.

This project was artfully organized by Lucy Black, she’s been the brains behind this operation for many months, and for that we offer her a million thank you high fives.
