A new trailer was released for Thea Sharrocks's epic mystery comedy Wicked Little Letters on Thursday.
The Crown's Olivia Colman, 49, takes a starring role as Edith Swan - a deeply conservative woman who is quick to point the finger in her community's mystery.
Olivia will star alongside Jessie Buckley in the forthcoming film, with the actress, 33, expected to play Rose Gooding - the fiery younger woman wrongly accused of drafting a spate of hateful letters to various members of the community.
The new Film 4 release, which is set to hit UK screens on February 23, 2024, is set around a 1920s English seaside Sussex town.
