- Karwai Tang/WireImageThe star of The Crown and Sex Education just signed a first-look deal with Netflix.March 29, 2022
Throughout her career, Gillian Anderson has disappeared into roles: Dana Scully in The X-Files; DSI Stella Gibson in The Fall; Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Crown; Jean Milburn in Sex Education. Now Anderson herself is taking center stage with a two-year first-look deal with her company, Fiddlehead Productions.
“Netflix have been an inspiring and supportive home for much of my recent acting work so I am excited to partner with them for the television projects I am currently developing,” Anderson, whose portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown earned her multiple awards including an Emmy and a SAG Award, says about the deal. “We have a shared passion for progressive, compelling and engaging stories and I’m thrilled to announce our collaboration.”
“We feel very privileged to be working closely with Gillian on new projects,” Anne Mensah, vice president of UK series, adds. “Her success at Netflix — from Sex Education to her singular portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown — is second to none and we look forward to launching shows with her as an actress and executive producer.”
Anderson previously served as an executive producer for the acclaimed crime drama The Fall, in which she starred as a detective obsessed with the serial killer she’s hunting. She’ll be returning to Moordale Secondary School in the upcoming fourth season of Sex Education.
The truth may be out there, but over here, the facts speak for themselves: In Gillian Anderson we trust.
