However, she eventually sees her husband on the news, seemingly no longer dead, and decides to set off on a journey into the African Congo to piece together the mysteries of her past and present.
While further details about the plot weren’t available, that basic premise alone (plus Beckinsale’s involvement) feels like it’ll be enough to get many potential fans onboard.
In The Widow — which will begin its production this month in South Africa, Wales and Rotterdam — Kate Beckinsale will star as Georgia Wells, a woman who decides to cut ties with her past and remove herself from the world in the wake of her husband’s apparent death; hence the show’s title.
