'The Cry' star Jenna Coleman says the show's narrative was complex from "costume to continuity"

The complicated nature of the story and the characters in it makes 'The Cry' a notch above other psychological thrillers around
PUBLISHED OCT 23, 2018

For Jenna Coleman, it was the complicated nature of the characters in 'The Cry' that pulled her into doing the show. Based on Helen Fitzgerald's best selling 2013 novel of the same title, the story follows Joanna, struggling with newfound motherhood as she tries to tackle the media who blame her for the terrible tragedy that has fallen upon her family.

As Joanna, the role was difficult to execute for Coleman who herself has no experience of being a mother. 

During a conversation with Deadline, the former 'Doctor Who' star stated that it almost felt for Joanna that "every scene is at breaking point.”
