Myfanwy Thomas has no recollection of who she is. Her memory is a “massive black hole,” a terrifying condition worsened by the fact that she wakes up to find herself surrounded by a circle of dead bodies. “The Rook” sees Myfanwy (Emma Greenwell) trying to make sense of exactly what happened to her — and who is responsible. A trailer just dropped for the upcoming Starz series.
An employee of a secret wing of British intelligence that recruits people with paranormal abilities, Myfanwy herself has unusual gifts. The kind of sought-after gifts that get others like her trafficked, stolen, smuggled, and traded. Besides being tormented by the thought that she’s some “kind of monster,” Myfanwy is convinced that she’s under surveillance and warned that she can’t trust anyone.
“The Path,” “Shameless,” and “Love & Friendship” are among Greenwell’s previous credits.
“The Rook” premieres June 30.
