Buried secrets with Olivia Colman and David Thewlis in new TV drama Landscapers 

The much-praised Sky Atlantic show was inspired by the real-life actions of an 'ordinary' couple who had carried out a very dark deed

Olivia Colman and David Thewlis in Landscapers. 

She’s an Oscar winner with countless other impressive accolades to her name (Emmys, Baftas, Golden Globes and more), so when Olivia Colman describes a TV project as a “sumptuous piece of drama” you’re inclined to want to watch it. Add to that the fact that it’s a project made alongside her husband, the producer and screenwriter Ed Sinclair, and the words ‘must-watch’ spring to mind.

The Crown actress, 47, who in 2019 landed the best actress Oscar for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite, joins Fargo and Harry Potter actor David Thewlis to play middle-aged couple Susan and Christopher Edwards in Sky’s darkly comical true-crime drama Landscapers.
