![]() Part of that sorrow comes from impact that playing Charlotte Wells had on her. “I always cry at the end of a job as it means so much to me to be there at all, but this one really hit me hard.” Being able to come into work every day and play, properly play, was a hard thing to walk away from,” she said. “I had a real moment at the end when I took stock of what an amazing time ‘Harlots’ has been. Shooting her final scene was surprisingly emotional for her. “And I feel like we found that in spades this season. I was always made to feel safe and respected, and there is nothing like respect to allow for freeness on screen.”Īfter two seasons and three episodes, the actress ponders why it was time to wrap up Charlotte’s time on “Harlots.””Maybe it wasn’t! But she is at her best when she doesn’t have a tether, when she can rebel and push,” said Brown Findlay. ![]() “I felt so at ease and knew so well three years in that I just threw myself in. Us harlots both in front and behind the camera are family to me now,” she said. “ very special, a complete privilege that I hope I get to experience more. “Harlots” is co-created by Moira Buffini and Alison Newman, alongside executive producers Alison Owen, Debra Hayward and Alison Carpenter, and a staff of female writers and directors. It’s an unusual narrative that’s owed to an all-female crew behind the scenes. The harlots and bawds are seen as feminist and heroic since it’s the one profession where a woman can have relative autonomy at that time. It’s a far cry from Brown Findlay’s most famous role as Lady Sibyl from “Downton Abbey.” Overall, “Harlots” offered the actress many opportunities to upend expectations. Competition with the Pincher brothers leads to a bitter rivalry, then a detente, and finally the illicit affair. She steps up to take over the Greek Street brothel when her mother disappeared at the end of last season. In the series set in 18th century Georgian London, the Wells family runs a successful brothel with Charlotte becoming one of the most celebrated “freelance” courtesans. “Seeing how she fights for some form of peace, right to the end, pushing against the violence of the world, of the men who rule it, her death acts as a very stark reminder that not all stories end the way we wish they did.” TVLine’s Cable Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard has thusly been updated.“Within seconds she goes from being full of life to on the edge of death,” said the actress. I’m grateful to Hulu, A&E and The Littlefield company for making it so.” I hope everyone finds The Doris at some point and, much like its pulpy tone, pulls in a unique cult following. “The rise of the underestimated is a beautiful thing which is the heart of this story. “Exploring the power and strength of a broken woman who has rebuilt herself is a special feat,” Spencer said in conclusion. “I’m so proud of the work we did and the stellar work of our diverse cast - special shout-out to my scene partners Craig Tate, Wavyy Jonez, Bethany Anne Lind, Mena Massoud, Gilbert Owuor, Rodrigo Santoro, Madison Davenport, Lea Delaria, Rhys Wakefield and David Dastmalchian - for being a part of bringing more underrepresented voices and characters to the screen. “We left it all on the screen,” Spencer continued. That’s always the dance with series work - you hope it goes on and you want it to feel complete if it doesn’t. “Though it won’t go on from here, I’m so grateful it will live on, on Hulu, as a completed piece. ![]() “I’m so grateful I got to bring Josh Corbin’s ‘The Doris’ and Reprisal to life,” Spencer shared in a statement to TVLine.
