Frauds is a forthcoming compelling heist drama for ITV1 and ITVX starring BAFTA and RTS Award-winning actresses Suranne Jones (Hostage) and Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who) as skilled confidence tricksters who’ve been separated by an arduous 10-year prison sentence.
Starring as the complex duo Bert (Jones) and Sam (Whittaker), their intertwined past resurfaces in the setting of Southern Spain after a decade of separation. As Sam has sought a low-key life, Bert’s release from a Spanish prison for compassionate reasons reignites her ambition for one final significant score.
On the pretext of one final, multi-million-pound art heist, Bert attempts to lure Sam out of retirement, but at what cost? Can Sam stay one step ahead of her former friend – who is clearly capable of treachery – or will the push and pull of their toxic friendship see them both ruined before they are able to pull off the job?
The series is written by Anne-Marie O’Connor and directed by Giulia Gandini and Brian O’Malley. Monumental Television will produce Frauds in association with ITV Studios.
Frauds is a co-production with TeamAkers founded by Suranne Jones and Laurence Akers. Suranne Jones and Anne-Marie O’Connor serve as co-creators and executive producers of Frauds. Alison Owen and Katie Kelly are both executive producers on behalf of Monumental Television.
