Written by Ed Sinclair for Sky/ HBO, LANDSCAPERS asks how this devoted and mild-mannered real-life couple came to kill Susan’s parents and bury them in the back garden of their Mansfield home, in a crime that remained undiscovered for over a decade. Pivoting through various perspectives – from Susan and Christopher's to that of the police officers and lawyers involved in the investigation – the drama invites the audience into the surreal fantasy world that Susan and Christopher created by casting themselves as Hollywood heroes in stories of their own invention. This is the story of a unique murder case involving four lives lived on the margins of society. Will Sharpe (Giri/Haji, Flowers) directs, and co-writes 2 episodes.

But one day, Edith starts receiving scandalous letters written with foul language as eccentric as it is obscene, and she immediately accuses Rose of being the poison pen writer behind them. As Rose stands to lose her freedom and the custody of her daughter, and outrageous letters continue to blight the town, police officer Gladys Moss begins to suspect something is amiss. Together with a group of resourceful women, Gladys endeavours to solve the mystery, liberate Rose, and catch the real culprit… https://www.southoftheriverpictures.com/screenshot daily 0.75 2023-07-07 https://www.southoftheriverpictures.com/-screenshot-2020 daily 0.75 2023-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a8fef14fd36665eb09ef98/1637956421209-H8UT165D8744SRN8RX4O/bwscreenshot.gif // SCREENSHOT 2020 Back-up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.southoftheriverpictures.com/about-4 daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a8fef14fd36665eb09ef98/57a7fddb-fbef-4447-8391-b295477c7b49/Olivia-Colman-Brie-Larson-and-Sarah-Treem.jpg // PRODUCTIONS - CRY WOLF Olivia Colman, Brie Larson and Shawn Hatosy will star in Cry Wolf, FX‘s limited series created by Sarah Treem.

On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman (Olivia Colman); smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbors, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos. WICKER is an enchanting, timeless and twisted love story that turns traditional conventions upside down. Fresh, bold and distinctive, this character driven satire pokes fun at just how quickly the moral fabric of our society can unravel when faced with anything or anyone different. WICKER stars Academy Award® winner Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Lost Daughter), alongside Alexander Skarsgärd, Elizabeth Debicki and Peter Dinklage. Filmmakers, Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson (Save Yourselves!) direct from a script adapted from the short story, “The Wicker Husband” by Ursula Wills-Jones. Topic Studios (Spencer, The Mauritanian) and Tango (Aftersun, WEIRD: The Weird Al Yankovic Story) will fully finance and produce, alongside South of The River, Pictures, Yoki, Inc. and Votiv. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a8fef14fd36665eb09ef98/ecfcd55a-d528-4bf1-8b64-c13b7254a47d/image001.png // PRODUCTIONS - THE ROSES ‘Benedict Cumberbatch (The Power of the Dog) and Olivia Colman (The Favourite) star in The Roses, a reimagining of the 1989 classic The War of the Roses that Jay Roach (Bombshell) will direct for Searchlight Pictures.

WICKED LITTLE LETTERS will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 23 February 2024. A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women - led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) - begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a8fef14fd36665eb09ef98/1652720526934-BDO5BKDLDHXCXA220OH6/landscapers+bafta.png // PRODUCTIONS - LANDSCAPERS Produced by Sister in association with South of the River Pictures, LANDSCAPERS is an exhilarating and darkly funny tale of love and fantasy, explored through the lives of convicted killers Susan (Olivia Colman) and Christopher Edwards (David Thewlis).
