Ella Purnell smiling during Sweetpea interview
After experiencing great success in Fallout, Ella Purnell's next leading role is in the STARZ show Sweetpea, which premieres on October 10. Purnell has previously appeared on STARZ with 2017's Sweetbitter, but her popularity in the industry soared after she starred in Showtime's Yellowjackets as the charismatic Jackie, a high soccer captain stranded in the wilderness with her classmates after a plane crash.
Screen Rant interviewed Purnell about her role in Sweetpea, how she viewed the various complicated character relationships in the new STARZ show, and what she expects will happen in Fallout season 2. When we meet Rihanna in episode 1, she's invisible. No one sees her. She's considered a wallflower, and that's what she's labeled as, and she resents that. But also I think that it's something that is slightly self-inflicted. I think when she was a child, she learned how to hide herself away to avoid her school bully. And so this invisibility is sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy that she's carried into her adult life.
I was just talking about how Rhiannon loves when she starts to murder and feel this power. She loves being visible, but then she's too visible. Marina's on her, and like you say, Marina sees her. What are the chances that somebody who relates to Rhiannon so much, who really is inside Rhiannon's head, is assigned to her case? I think Rhiannon sees that, and she realizes this is a real threat. This person sees her in a way that no one else does.
Screen Rant: You've been killing it in the TV department lately, between this, Yellowjackets, and Fallout. What are you most excited for fans to see in Fallout season 2?
