“Other Bennet Sister Star Joins Downton Abbey Icon in New Project”

Ella Bruccoleri, who recently led the BBC period series as Mary Bennet, has been cast in a new comedy-crime film. The project is currently in post-production and adds a film credit to her rising profile.

New film role and premise

Bruccoleri will play a character named Gemma in Go Away!. The film follows lodger Kyle Burden as his life unravels after a run-in with a bailiff.

Michael Socha stars as Kyle. Producers say a string of failed home viewings and a bungled eviction put his illegal cannabis operation at risk.

Ensemble cast

The cast mixes television veterans and stage names. Hugh Bonneville appears among the ensemble, bringing Downton Abbey pedigree to the production.

Other credited performers include Steve Speirs, Jo Martin and Chris Gascoyne. Fans of UK television will recognise several faces from long-running shows.

From period drama to screen spotlight

Bruccoleri gained attention for portraying Mary Bennet in the recent adaptation of Janice Hadlow’s 2020 novel. The series reframed Jane Austen’s tale to focus on Mary’s personal growth.

The show earned strong praise and a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. Viewers praised the performance and the fresh angle on a familiar story.

What’s next

There is no release date yet for Go Away!. Filmogaz.com will monitor updates as the project moves toward distribution.

Meanwhile, the limited series is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Bruccoleri’s shift into film sees the Other Bennet Sister star join a Downton Abbey icon in a notable new project.
