Sophie Turner showed a new side of herself on Tuesday with the release of the first trailer for her upcoming true crime series Joan.
The Game of Thrones actress, 28, stars in the six-episode series as real-life British diamond thief Joan Hannington.
The teaser showed Turner in a series of strikingly different looks while showing off the numerous costumes of the eponymous jewel thief.
Turner, who was in the UK filming Joan as her marriage to Joe Jonas disintegrated, posted the new teaser to her Instagram account on Tuesday, captioning it: “Here she comes” and adding a diamond emoji.
UK viewers will get an early chance to catch the show in September this year when it airs on ITV’s ITVX streaming platform, while US viewers will be able to watch it on The CW from 2 October.

The teaser features numerous shots of Sophie in the center of the frame as her piercing gaze is directed directly at the camera.
It’s an unusual, fourth-wall-breaking tactic that can help viewers bond with the woman behind all the wigs and makeup.
The lead actress shows her ability to take on new personalities in the opening moments, when she is seen from behind in front of a dressing table.
The partially undressed thief applies a feathered red wig over her short, naturally blonde hair, and with the addition of some makeup to sculpt her cheekbones, delicate eyeshadow, and a crimson lip, she’s a new person.
The wordless teaser shares little in the way of plot, but a quick shot of Sophie marching quickly down a hallway while sporting a bruised face and possibly broken nose suggests her life of crime may be an attempt to escape a dangerous environment.
