Beckinsale will play Georgia Wells, a woman who has left her old life behind, but is forced to return in search of the truth after seeing her supposedly dead husband on the news. The mystery will lead her into the depths of the African Congo, where danger and revelation will greet her at every turn.
This is the actress' third collaboration with Amazon, following the Jane Austen adaptation "Love & Friendship", and the Marc Webb drama "The Only Living Boy in New York". The series will be produced by Eliza Mellor and directed by Sam Donovan and Olly Blackburn.
Here's what ITV's Head of Drama Polly Hill had to say about Beckinsale's casting:
"I’m delighted to announce Kate Beckinsale’s casting in The Widow. She is perfect for the role of Georgia in what is, as always, brilliant, compelling and surprising storytelling from Harry and Jack Williams. We’re very pleased to have secured the series which is an ITV original commission and co-production with Amazon."Harry and Jack Williams also declared that "Kate Beckinsale is a brilliantly talented actress and we’re thrilled she’s joining us on this journey — we couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect for the role". They also added that "The Widow" is their "most ambitious and cinematic piece to date" and that they "can't wait to bring the dark heart of the Congolese jungle to the screen".
