NEW DRAMA
One Night From Fri 24 November, Paramount+
Fresh from her critically acclaimed performance as a troubled inmate in Jimmy McGovern’s prison drama Time, Jodie Whittaker is tackling another equally harrowing role in Paramount+’s tense new drama One Night.
The six-part drama sees the former Doctor Who star play Australian banker Tess, who was subjected to a sexual assault two decades ago, of which she has little memory.
Now, after years in the UK, she is returning Down Under with her wife Vicki (Kat Stewart) and their children. And back at her old coastal community, she reunites with her estranged childhood friends, budding novelist Simone (Wentworth Prison’s Nicole da Silva) and lawyer Hat (Orange Is the New Black’s Yael Stone), who were with her on the night she was attacked.
