Jessica Brown Findlay to star in ITV’s raunchy new series-long way from Downton Abbey!

The actress, 27, will star in ITV Encore’s new series Harlots alongside Samantha Morton, Lesley Manville and Eloise Smyth that delves into the seedy business of the 18th century sex trade.

Maleficent star Lesley Manville plays the role of Lydia Quigley – another brothel owner – who becomes embroiled in a rivalry with the Wells.

Harlots will be based in 1763 and will air for eight episodes at the end of this month on March 27.

The series depicts a family’s struggles while owning a brothel in Georgian London and will be from a ‘whore’s eye view’ instead of a usual male perspective.
