As reported by foreign media, Emmy-nominated young actor Bella Ramsey, best known for their roles in HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘The Last of Us’, will play the titular character of daughter with Daisy Haggard, as the latter makes her directorial debut with the six-part thriller series, titled ‘Maya’.
According to the details, Haggard also serves as writer and creator of the show, produced by Two Brothers Pictures, which she co-directs with British filmmaker Jamie Donoughue (of ‘Doctor Who’ fame).
‘Maya’, billed as ‘atmospheric, darkly comic, aping the warm and humorous style’ of Haggard’s previous shows, stars Ramsey as the teenage daughter of Anna (Haggard), as they deal with life after moving from London to a small rural Scottish town.
“Ever since I first dreamt up this show, there has only ever been one Maya,” said Haggard, on Ramsey’s casting. “I wrote the part with Bella so clearly in my head, and I honestly still can’t believe they want to be part of it.”
“Bella is pure magic, just insanely talented, and I can’t wait for us to work together,” she added.
Sharing their excitement for the project, Ramsey told a foreign publication, “This story and these characters Daisy has created are so alive, nuanced, wickedly funny and scarily dark.”
“Every character jumps off the page, the dialogue is incredibly witty, and I’m so excited to get to play Maya opposite Daisy’s Anna,” they added.
‘Maya’ is scheduled to go on the floor later this year, while the channel is yet to unveil its release slate.
