Get ready for a thrilling return to the world of After the Flood! The highly anticipated second series is set to premiere this Sunday, and we're thrilled to have Lorraine Ashbourne back in her role as the protective and anxious mother, Molly Marshall. But here's where it gets controversial... Lorraine's real-life family ties are just as intriguing as her on-screen drama!
At 65, Lorraine is a seasoned actress with an impressive resume, having graced our screens in numerous TV and film productions. From King Kong to Bridgerton, her talent knows no bounds. But what many may not know is that she's married to the legendary Hollywood actor, Andy Serkis. Yes, you heard that right! The couple, who met back in 1989, tied the knot in 2002, and together, they've raised three talented children who've followed in their parents' footsteps.
Andy, at 61, is best known for his iconic portrayal of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit franchises. But his impressive career spans far beyond that, with roles in Star Wars, Avengers, and Black Panther, to name a few. And it seems the acting gene runs strong in this family, as all three of their children have also made a name for themselves in the industry.
Ruby, Sonny, and Louis, aged 28, 26, and 21 respectively, have all carved their own paths in the world of acting. From The Hobbit to The Queen's Gambit, they've left their mark on both the big and small screens. Lorraine, in a recent interview, humorously reflected on her children's acting careers, joking, "We should have taken them to the Science Museum more!" But beneath the lightheartedness, she admitted to having mixed feelings about her children's chosen path, fearing the rejections they might face in the industry.
As we eagerly await the return of After the Flood, we can't help but wonder: Will Lorraine's character, Molly, finally uncover the truth behind the corruption that has plagued her family and the local police force? And how will her children's acting careers unfold? Join us this Sunday at 9 pm on ITV to find out! All episodes will be available on ITVX, so you won't miss a beat.
