MIPBlog spoke to Maggie Gyllenhaal, star of The BBC’s The Honourable Woman, which premiered at MIPTV 2014 this week.
« Usually you get one pilot of one hour, and you have to sign up and say ‘I’ll happily do this for many years’, based on this one, one-hour script… which i find scary! So in this case I read all of the scripts (eight episodes worth), and they were so unusually phenomenal that I had to do this. »
The Honourable Woman is « an exquisitely put-together thriller… the twists and the turns and the whodunnit stuff is really exquisite… it a way that it can’t be when you’re writing a script each week. »
The Honourable Woman was brought to MIPTV by BBC Worldwide, and premiered in Cannes April 7. More info here.
