Ella Purnell's Bingeable 6-Part Crime Thriller Climbs Prime Video

Ella Purnell first burst onto the scene a decade ago in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and has become a prominent presence on television, from Yellowjackets to voicing Jinx in Arcane. Her role as Lucy in Fallout opposite Walton Goggins has earned particular attention, with Purnell’s portrayal of an innocent vault-dweller resonating through two seasons.

That visibility has driven viewers to revisit Sweetpea, in which Purnell stars as Rhiannon. The six-part crime thriller premiered on Starz on October 10, 2024, drew widespread critical acclaim and earned a Season 2 renewal. While a release date for the second season remains unclear, Starz recently licensed the series to Prime Video, where it has become one of the platform’s top 10 most popular series.

Sweetpea follows a woman overlooked by everyone who may just get away with murder, a premise that makes it a natural fit for fans of Dexter. Both shows center on characters who conceal a lethal appetite behind a seemingly innocent persona.
