Gemma Arterton

Amazon may be gearing up to try its hand at a new James Bond, but over in the U.K., ITV is readying Gemma Arterton (Funny Woman) to be the next hit British spy in Secret Service.

ITV has announced the cast of its forthcoming adaptation of Secret Service, with Gemma Arterton starring alongside Roger Allam and Alex Kingston.

Funny Woman Season 2, we hardly knew ye! I wish we’d gotten at least two more episodes of the life and times of Sophie Straw, but it’s been a fun, brisk quartet of episodes. 

Sophie Straw struggles with the glass walls and ceilings surrounding her in Funny Woman Season 2, so she does the sensible thing and goes to France.

Even in the throes of this class/geography/gender politics vexation, I’m so happy to have Funny Woman back on screen.

PBS has released the trailer for Funny Woman Season 2, which introduces the world to TV's newest star, Sophie Straw.
