Spectrum has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming original limited series Angela Black starring Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey).
All six episodes of the limited series will be available on Monday, February 7.
Angela Black's (Froggatt) life appears idyllic: a lovely house in suburban London, days working volunteer shifts at a dog shelter, two beautiful sons and a charming, hard-working husband - Olivier. However, beneath this facade of charmed domesticity, Angela is a victim of domestic violence. Olivier is controlling and brutal; but Angela loves him and he's the father of her children. She covers her bruises with make-up and fabricates lies to explain away her missing teeth. Until, one day, she is approached by Ed - a private investigator - and he smashes her already strained domestic life to pieces. Ed reveals Olivier's deepest secrets to Angela, and she is faced with horrifying truths about her husband and his betrayals being forced to take matters into her own hands.
In addition to Froggatt, the limited series stars Michiel Huisman and Samuel Adewunmi.
Harry and Jack Williams created the series. They executive produce with Christopher Aird, Sarah Hammond, Natasha Romaniuk and director Craig Viveiros. Two Brothers Pictures produces.
