Sophie Turner‘s new series is kicking off the weekend after a last-minute schedule adjustment.
After premiering this Wednesday in the US, The CW has moved the Anna Symon-created true crime drama Joan to Fridays at 9pm ET starting Oct. 11, switching time slots with Inside the NFL.
The six-part limited series stars Turner as Joan ‘The Godmother’ Hannington, a devoted mother trapped in a violent relationship who seizes the opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter when her husband goes on the run. They adopt new identities and Joan soon becomes a master jewel thief, embarking on a high-stakes journey driven by the desire to care for her daughter and create a secure home for them both.

Joan also stars Frank Dillane, Kirsty J Curtis, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, Laura Aikman, Nick Blood, Jack Greenlees, Alex Blake, Caroline Faber and Dorothy Atkinson.
Inspired by the Hannington’s 2004 memoir I Am What I Am, the series from Snowed-In Productions is directed by Richard Maxton. Joan airs on CBC in Canada and ITV in the UK, with all episodes streaming on ITVX. All3Media International is the distributor.
