As a seasoned movie-goer who’s witnessed more than my fair share of family dramas unfold on the silver screen, I must say, The Wives seems to be shaping up as a captivating addition to the genre. With its star-studded cast, led by the talented Jo Joyner, Angela Griffin, and Tamzin Outhwaite, this six-episode thriller promises an intriguing tale of secrets, lies, and betrayal that will undoubtedly keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Channel 5 unveiled an initial glimpse of the captivating thriller titled “The Wives,” featuring Jo Joyner, Angela Griffin, and Tamzin Outhwaite as its main actors.
The upcoming series narrates the story of a single family as they experience a transformative summer, with each chapter unfolding over the course of six captivating episodes.
Initially, the initial shots don’t reveal too many details, but they do provide a sneak peek at our principal actors as they cautiously observe from behind a structure.
In the next picture, you’ll find their large family gathered on a stone outcrop, appearing rather somber. It remains unclear at this point what has caused their melancholy. Are they perhaps convening for a type of tribute or commemoration?
For the past fifteen summers, the four sisters-in-law and their respective families have vacated to their holiday homes in Malta, a tradition that continued last year.
Sylvie Morgan, portrayed by Tamzin Outhwaite, lived contentedly as a married woman. Natasha Morgan, acted by Angela Griffin, enjoyed a lavish lifestyle. Meanwhile, Beth Morgan, also played by Jo Joyner, and Annabelle Morgan, brought to life by Christine Bottomley, were inseparable friends.
However, this time around, there’s a noticeable change among them all. Sylvie finds herself single and enjoying life, while Natasha conceals a dire financial predicament. Beth struggles to maintain her daily routine, and unfortunately, Annabelle is no longer with us.
As Charlie, the widower of Annabelle (played by Jamie Bamber), enters accompanied by a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife, named Jade (Katie Clarkson-Hill), Beth struggles to hide her unease despite trying to be genuinely pleased for them.
As a cinephile, I was all geared up for an unforgettable summer, but it seems my plans are taking a darker turn. Charlie’s peculiar actions have me on edge, and my suspicions about Annabelle’s demise grow stronger by the day.
In the face of truth emerging and mounting proof, these women collaborate and sometimes compete, aiming to solve the enigma and apprehend the guilty party.
However, given that potentially corrupt officials, drug cartels, and career criminals are closer than anticipated, one might wonder if they’ve taken on more than they can handle.
Besides Joyner, Griffin, and Outhwaite, the remaining actors in the ensemble are Christine Bottomley (portraying Annabelle), Jamie Bamber (known for Strike Back) as Charlie, and Katie Clarkson-Hill (recognized from Trust Me) playing Jade.
The line-up also features Ben Willbond (Good Omens) as the eldest Morgan brother and Beth’s husband Frankie Morgan, Jonathan Forbes (Catastrophe) as Natasha’s husband Sean Morgan, Catriona Chandler (The Rivals) as Annabelle and Charlie’s daughter Sky Morgan, Louis Boyer (Shadow and Bone) as local businessman Luca Vella and Ajay Chhabra (Phoenix Rise) as consulate official Vinay Taneja.
The series isn’t scheduled to air just yet, but since it’s part of Channel 5’s fall drama lineup, we can expect it to hit our screens before too long.
Previously, Joyner – famed for her performances in Eastenders, For Her Sins, and Stay Close – expressed her delight upon starting work on the series: “I’m thrilled to collaborate with Gaumont once more in Malta, this time on The Wives, an engrossing female-centric thriller.”
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve grown quite attached to the charming island of Malta and its incredibly friendly locals. Working alongside this stellar cast, especially talented ladies like Angela Griffin and Tamzin Outhwaite, has been an absolute joy. This project promises to be nothing short of remarkable, and I can hardly wait to dive in!
The Wives will be coming this autumn to Channel 5 and My5.
