Ella Purnell Returns to Starz Crime Thriller Sweetpea in Season 2 Trailer, Leaving Fallout’s Wasteland Behind

Ella Purnell is stepping away from the post-apocalyptic world of Prime Video’s Fallout to reprise her role as Rhiannon Lewis in the Starz dark comedy-thriller Sweetpea. The first official trailer for Sweetpea Season 2 confirms Purnell’s return, following the show’s breakout first season that earned critical praise for its twisted take on a quiet woman turned serial killer. The new season will see Rhiannon dealing with the fallout—no pun intended—of her murderous actions, as she tries to maintain her anonymity while a determined detective closes in. Purnell’s dual commitments to Fallout and Sweetpea highlight her rising star power, but for now, fans of the crime thriller can look forward to more blood-soaked mayhem when Sweetpea returns. The trailer teases higher stakes and darker humor, promising a season that will push Rhiannon further into moral ambiguity. With Fallout Season 3 still in production, Purnell’s schedule shows she’s becoming one of the most in-demand young actors in genre television. Sweetpea Season 2 is expected to premiere later this year on Starz.
