[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Angela Black.]
From creators, Jack and Harry Williams (Liar), the six-episode psychological thriller Angela Black, which is available through Spectrum, follows a wife and mother of two young sons who appears to have an idyllic life and a perfect family, but for Angela (Joanne Froggatt), the reality is much darker. A victim of domestic violence at the hands of her controlling husband Olivier (Michiel Huisman), who has covered her bruises with makeup and excuses, is suddenly faced with shocking truths that force her to take drastic action in order to survive.
During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, Froggatt talked about the roller coaster ride of the story, why they approached portraying domestic abuse in the way that they did, how her Angela Black character compares to her character in Liar (from the same creators/writers), the experience of working with co-stars Huisman and Samuel Adewunmi, and her reaction to learning about the story’s conclusion. She also talked about the incredible journey of success for Downton Abbey and what fans can look forward to with her character in the sequel.
