How to watch ‘Joan’ online and from anywhere —stream Sophie Turner jewel thief drama

“Game of Thrones” star Sophie Turner leads ITVX’s brand new crime drama, “Joan”, based on the real life exploits of criminal mastermind ‘The Godmother’ Joan Hannington, following her journey from housewife to notorious jewel thief.

Away from the U.K. when it airs? You can still watch “Joan” FREE online from anywhere with a VPN.

Based on Hannington’s own memoir, “I Am What I Am: The True Story of Britain’s Most Notorious Jewel Thief”, the 1980s set drama opens with Joan (Turner) stuck in a toxic marriage to career criminal Gary, her only glimmer of hope being her young daughter Kelly, of whom she is fiercely protective. But when Gary makes one too many bad deals and is forced to go on the run, Joan takes her chance, starting a new life with Kelly under new identities, doing what she has to to ensure she does right by the child.

What follows is Hannington’s unlikely rise through the seedy underworld of 80s London, from petty crime to jewel thief to criminal mastermind. Joining Turner in the cast are Kirsty J. Curtis as Joan’s sister, Nancy; Frank Dillane as dodgy antique dealer Boisie and Gershwyn Eustache Jr. as his former acquaintance, Albie. Mrs. Wilson writer Anna Symon has adapted the series, while Richard Laxton directs.

This is sure to be unmissable drama, so read on for how to watch “Joan” online and from anywhere in the world.
