Kate Winslet and Maxine Peake will shoot their next project together in the UK. Filming of the Netflix miniseries ‘The Unheard’ will take place in Britain between January and April 2027. Jack Thorne wrote the story, with Mounia Akl roped in to direct the five-part show. The plot follows two sisters (Winslet and Peake) who go on the run after an act of vengeance goes wrong. As they are desperately pursued, we ask: What pushed them to this reckless act, and did they ever intend to get away with it?
Kate Winslet’s last acting outing was ‘Goodbye June,’ a Christmas family drama, which she also directed. It came out last December. In her upcoming project slate, she has Elaine Bogan and Jared Stern’s animated adventure movie ‘Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory,’ which will show Wonka (voiced by Taika Waititi) return to his factory, determined to add a little sweetness to a bitter world after doing prison time for turning a child into a blueberry. Winslet’s character hasn’t been revealed yet. We will also see the Academy Award-winning actress as Marigold, a new character, in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,’ which will be released on December 17, 2027. The movie will also star Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Anya Taylor-Joy, Leo Woodall, Lee Pace, and Jamie Dornan.
Maxine Peake played Dottie in ‘I Swear,’ Helen in Amazon Prime Video’s ‘Bait,’ and Jenna Reid in Apple TV’s ‘Last Seen.’ Some of her well-known performances are Twinkle in the BBC sitcom ‘dinnerladies,’ Veronica Ball in ‘Shameless,’ Elaine Mason in ‘Theory of Everything,’ and stand-up comic Funny Cow in Adrian Shergold’s ‘Funny Cow.’ Next up for her are the HBO series ‘First Day on Earth,’ about a British novelist who tries to reconnect with her estranged father and her heritage, and the Apple TV+ crime show ‘Berlin Noir,’ centered on detective Bernie Gunther, who searches for a serial killer in 1928 Berlin. ‘First Day on Earth’ is undergoing production, while ‘Berlin Noir’ has reached post-production. Release dates for both shows are awaited.
