The show sees the pair as skilled confidence tricksters reunited after a 10-year prison sentence. 

ITV have announced a new six-part heist drama starring Suranne Jones (Gentlemen Jack, Vigil) and Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Time).

The show has been co-created by Suranne Jones with writer Anne-Marie O’Connor (Hullraisers), who previously collaborated on the drama Maryland.

Here’s what ITV say about Frauds…

Sam, played by Jodie Whittaker has been content to live a life of quiet anonymity in the hills of Southern Spain, whilst her grifting partner, Bert, played by Suranne Jones, has spent the last decade in a Spanish prison cell with a burning desire to pull off one final job that will prove her worth.

The series producer is Pat Tookey-Dickson (Toxic Town) and Giulia Gandini (The Split) directs. Monumental Television are producing Frauds in association with ITV Studios. The show is a co-production with TeamAkers.

Suranne Jones said:

“Working on Frauds with Anne-Marie and Monumental for the last 2 years has been a wild ride. We took the idea of toxic female friendship and turned it on its head to give the heist genre an emotional heartbeat.

I have always wanted to work with Jodie, and now I am. I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do.”

Anne-Marie O’Connor said:

“Suranne and I wanted to take a look at the importance and fierceness of female friendship and to do it using the propulsive heist genre. I am thrilled to be working with Monumental again, and having Jodie joining us alongside Suranne is a dream.”

Frauds has already begun filming in Spain. We’ll keep you posted.
