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 is streaming on U; season two arrives on U and U&DRAMA on 16 April.

Zoë has joined the cast of this ITV crime drama as Zelda Radclyffe, the quirky aunt of Cambridge professor Jasper Tempest, who helps the police solve challenging murder cases. Season four aired on PBS in the US in 2025 and comes to the UK in 2026, while filming recently finished on season five.

22 April 2021 14:17

In anticipation of tomorrow's release of the Netflix Shadow and Bone fantasy series, we're being treated to another compelling look at formidable Baghra's training sessions with Alina. Head over to Twitter, where spoken and written word app Scribd has shared the exclusive video, featuring Zoe and Jessie Mei Li.

For even more Shadow and Bone content, you can watch the Sneak Peak Premiere Event on YouTube. It starts at midnight tonight (UK time) and will be broadcast simultaneously in other countries too. The event will feature cast members, behind-the-scenes moments, exclusive clips and a 10-minute preview of episode one.

The epic show has already garnered a number of encouraging reviews. For example, Variety emphasises that Shadow and Bone 'creates a smart, immersive world', and Den of Geek says it 'brings the magic'.

The Hollywood Reporter's review, while less enamoured with the series overall, remarks that Jessie Mei Li enjoys 'great scenes with Zoë Wanamaker as her strict tutor, and having an actress of Wanamaker's stature even in a minor role offers a big boost of credibility to the entire series'.

Roll on 23 April!
