The highly anticipated Joan starring Sophie Turner lands will premiere on free-to-air channel ITV1 on Sunday, September 29 at 9pm BST. New episodes will then air on Mondays and Sundays at the same time for its six episode run. Alternatively, all six episodes will be made available on ITVX on the morning of September 29.

For all its Eighties tunes, wigs and diamonds, ITV’s new drama about jewel thief Joan Hannington is middle-of-the-road, unable to move its anti-heroine beyond ‘victim’ and ‘girl boss’ templates

Actor Sophie Turner makes her return to the small screen with quite a meaty role in Joan. The British drama is about a jewellery thief, who was so prolific that she became known as "the Godmother" in Britain's criminal underworld.

The Game of Thrones actress isn’t playing the victim any more. She talks motherhood, misogyny and why stepping into the shoes of a diamond-swallowing crime boss proved irresistible
