Claire Foy to Star in Britbox Crime Thriller 'Marlow'
The Crown star Claire Foy is leaving royalty behind for a very different sort of leading role with Britbox. The Emmy winner has been tapped to star in the upcoming crime drama Marlow, an eight-episode thriller that tells the story of two warring families that have lived on the “Edgelands” of the U.K.’s Thames Estuary for centuries — facing off across the water in this land of smugglers, mudlarks, entrepreneurs and opportunists.
Foy will play Evie Wyatt, who returns to the Edgelands, where she lost her father to a firestorm 15 lost years ago, seeking answers and revenge. And she is almost immediately drawn back into conflict with the aging patriarch from one of the families.
The series is set to go into production this Fall and comes to us from BAFTA-winning screenwriter Tony Grisoni and Simon Maxwell, who will both serve as executive producers along with Foy.
