Created by the people who made The Crown.

Eve Hewson is set to star in a new series on Netflix.

Eve, whose dad is U2 singer Bono, has secured a lead role in psychological thriller Behind Her Eyes.

She’ll play Adele, the wife of a psychiatrist who has a secret affair with his employee Louise.

Louise becomes friends with Adele but it’s not long before she finds herself embroiled in a web of lies.

The show was adapted from Sarah Pinborogh’s bestselling novel of the same name by Steven Lightfoot, who has previously written for Hannibal, Narcos and The Punisher.

Behind Her Eyes is being created by the same team who made The Crown, so we’ve got high hopes for it.

Principal photography on the six-part series has already begun, with filming taking place in London and Scotland. It is set for release in 2020.

Eve will star opposite Simona Brown (The Little Drummer Girl), Tom Bateman (Murder on the Orient Express, Demons) and Robert Aramayo (Nocturnal Animals, Game Of Thrones).

It’s not her first major TV role. The 28-year-old played nurse Lucy Elkins in Steven Soderbergh series The Knick.

Her film credits include roles in Tom Hanks vehicle Bridge of Spies and in This Must Be The Place opposite Frances McDormand and Sean Penn.
