Quick! Netflix is about to lose Anna Maxwell Martins' best comedy... but don't worry it has a new home
Netflix is losing one of the best British comedies — but we have spotted the Anna Maxwell Martin show is landing elsewhere.
www.whattowatch.comHere’s what’s happening with Anna Maxwell Martin in recent TV news.
-
She’s been in the news for joining a new TV project tied to For All Mankind’s universe, specifically a spin-off set in Star City focusing on the Soviet space program. This circulating report labels her as Lyudmilla, head of the KGB surveillance at Star City. Note that this sounds like a recent entertainment rumor/story and may be subject to change as official announcements roll out. [cite ]

Separately, outlets have discussed her continuing work in high-profile British TV, including a BBC drama from Jimmy McGovern that tackles heavy family-trauma themes, signaling a strong shift toward serious drama beyond her well-known comedy work. This aligns with her recent press appearances and interviews about taking on challenging dramatic roles. [cite ][cite ]

Another noted project is a BBC murder mystery collaboration with David Mitchell, returning for a second season after a successful first run, highlighting her ongoing involvement in high-profile UK drama. [cite ]
