Get Your First Look at Ruth Wilson Playing Her Own Grandmother in ‘Mrs. Wilson’
The BBC and PBS Masterpiece have released the first trailer for upcoming period drama Mrs. Wilson!
The drama is inspired by the real life story of Alice Wilson, who happens to be the grandmother of its star, Ruth Wilson.
Wilson, probably best known as the villainous Alice in Luther, has also won a Golden Globe for her performance in Showtime drama The Affair. And obviously this is a very personal project for the actress.
Set in 1940s and 1960s London and 1930s India, the series follows the story of Alison, who, after her husband’s death, discovers that much of what she thought she knew about her life is a lie. She’d previously assumed herself happily married – until a mysterious woman who shows up on her doorstep and claims to be the “real” Mrs. Wilson. Alison is determined to prove the validity of her own marriage – and her husband Alec’s love for her – but is instead led into a world of disturbing secrets. (Including the fact that Alec was, apparently, an actual spy, instead of merely an author of spy stories).
