ITV uncovers Frauds trailer
TRAILER: Suranne Jones and Jodie Whittaker partner up for the first time in Frauds, a heist drama coming to ITV and STV this autumn.
Jones and Whittaker star as two con women, Bert and Sam, whose toxic but darkly funny friendship is rekindled in order to pull off the art heist of the century. When Bert is released from prison on compassionate grounds, it’s Sam she calls, and it’s Sam she needs to help her carry out one last epic job.
Bert and Sam embark on the most audacious of art thefts, gathering a talented team of outcasts to help them plan this audacious crime. Whilst the team must overcome numerous challenges before they can pull off the heist, it’s the power struggle between Bert and Sam that threatens to derail their plans and destroy them both.
Set against the epic rolling hills of southern Spain and the dark criminal underbelly that casts a shadow over the glistening coast, Frauds is described a complex and addictive story of friendship, deception and survival.
The six-part series has been created for ITV by Jones and Anne-Marie O’Connor and is written by Anne-Marie O’Connor (Maryland, Hullraisers, Trollied). The drama is directed by Giulia Gandini (My Time, Shetland) and Brian O’Malley (Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue, Alex Rider).
Produced by Monumental Television (Harlots, Ghosts), Frauds is a coproduction with TeamAkers, the production company founded by Suranne Jones and Laurence Akers. ITV Studios handles international distribution.
