Marcella’s Anna Friel is returning to television for her next project, a supernatural horror series called The Box.

According to Deadline, although details are scarce, “Friel will play the lead role of Sharon Pici, a Kansas City Police Detective who is locked in a room that she cannot escape. The drama will begin as a character-driven psychological thriller but evolve into a supernatural horror.”

The series will consist of 8 30-minute episodes. Creator Adi Hasak stated: “I’m simply thrilled at how our show came together. An American show, a top notch and dynamic Nordic streamer and studio in NENT, and a remarkably talented British actress in Anna Friel. This is truly the future of global TV.”

Friel added: “I am excited to be working with NENT Group on such a fascinating project. Looking forward to the cameras rolling and going on this journey with Adi.”

She currently can be seen by US fans in the new Hulu streamer Books of Blood – read our review here.
