As excitement builds for the new season, the original Fallout series is once again climbing the streaming charts.
Interestingly, another series featuring Ella Purnell has also gained traction on streaming platforms. Sweetpea, a dark comedy based on the 2017 novel by CJ Skuse, is currently among the top ten most-streamed titles on Starz in the U.S. This surge in popularity coincides with the pre-release buzz surrounding Fallout Season 2.
Sweetpea: A Dark Comedy Unveiled
Sweetpea consists of six binge-worthy episodes and features a talented cast alongside Purnell, including:
- Nicôle Lecky

The plot follows Rhiannon Lewis, a young woman struggling with the aftermath of bullying. Set in the fictional town of Carnsham, Rhiannon’s mundane life as an administrative assistant is disrupted by her father’s death and the re-emergence of her former bully. This tragedy catalyzes her transformation as she develops a complex relationship with violence.
Purnell’s Performance in Sweetpea
Critics have hailed Purnell’s role in Sweetpea as one of her standout performances. Collider’s Carly Lane praised the series for its delightful blend of dark humor, highlighting Purnell’s ability to portray Rhiannon’s intricate character. The series holds an impressive 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, just slightly lower than the score for Fallout.
As production for a second season of Sweetpea began this past summer, fans can anticipate its arrival in 2026. The anticipation for both Sweetpea and Fallout Season 2 signifies a promising era for Ella Purnell, showcasing her versatility as an actress in acclaimed projects.
