This exclusive scoop reveals an exciting addition to the cast, with 'Bridgerton' star Claudia Jessie taking on a role that's a far cry from her elegant Eloise Bridgerton persona. She steps into the shoes of Hannah, a suspicious detective with a keen eye for detail, who finds herself entangled in a web of secrets surrounding the enigmatic Maud Oldcastle, played by the legendary Glenn Close.
But here's where it gets controversial... Maud, an elderly woman with a dark past, is determined to rewrite her life story and claim her long-overdue second chance.

It's a cat-and-mouse game that will keep you guessing until the very end.
And this is the part most people miss: the show is based on the captivating short story collections of Swedish writer Helene Tursten, adding an international flair to the narrative. With a stellar cast that includes Penelope Wilton, Meera Syal, and an array of talented actors from popular shows like 'Andor', 'Doctor Who', and 'Game of Thrones', 'Up to No Good' is shaping up to be a must-watch drama.
The series is brought to life by Wolf Hall's Playground and is being shopped by Sony Pictures Television, ensuring a high-quality production. Sony's Andrew Plotkin praised the collaboration, highlighting the director's immersion in the production and the talented cast's ability to elevate the storytelling.
With executive producers including Scott Huff, Colin Callender, and the talented Raine siblings, along with series producer Morenike Williams of 'Killing Eve' fame, this drama is in good hands. And let's not forget the incredible Glenn Close, who continues to grace our screens with her presence, following in the footsteps of other renowned actors like Gillian Anderson and Keeley Hawes.
