Zoë plays Charlie Hungerford, the whip-smart mother-in-law of recently widowed detective Jim Bergerac, in this reimagining of the classic 80s drama set in Jersey. Season one and two are streaming on U. Season three filming is underway.

Zoë joins this ITV crime drama as Zelda Radclyffe, the quirky aunt of criminologist Jasper Tempest. Season four aired on PBS in the US in 2025 and comes to the UK on 19 August 2026. Filming has finished on season five; season six is in the pipeline.

Hopefully we won't have long to wait before production photos are released. Meanwhile, there are plenty of rehearsal photos to enjoy.

Tickets to The Birthday Party are available now. The show runs at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End until 14 April.

The Birthday Party is a classic play, and this has the potential to be a classic production too. Let's wish everyone involved every success.

With thanks to Karoline for the link to the rehearsal photos.
