OSCAR-WINNER Rachel Shenton has landed the leading role in a star studded TV drama.

The Rumour, a new psychological drama series based on the bestselling novel by Lesley Kara, explores how a single whisper can shatter an entire town.

Produced by Cuba Pictures and Clapperboard, the TV series stars Rachel as Joanna, a mother who moves to the quiet town of Flinstead with her young son in search of a fresh start.

But when Joanna hears a chilling rumour about a convicted child killer hiding in plain sight, she shares it in an attempt to bond with the local mums, unwittingly setting off a chain reaction of paranoia and mistrust.

As whispers grow louder and tensions rise, Joanna finds herself caught in a dangerous spiral of secrets, suspicion, and blame.

The series also features Rivals and Inbetweeners star Emily Atack, Amandaland actor Samuel Anderson and Wolf Hall and movie actress Joanne Whalley.
