Now, Plummer has landed a major new Netflix role, which is scheduled to launch later this month. Keep scrolling to find more details!
Jessica Plummer Lands A New Role: Details OUT!
The 31-year-old will soon be appearing in Netflix’s brand new show, The Decameron. In the latest show, Jessica plays the role of Filomena, ‘a spoiled oddball with a chip on her shoulder.’ The synopsis for the new series reads, “In 1348, as the Black Death ravages Florence, a number of nobles and their servants retreat to the countryside Villa Santa. As they try to wait out the plague in the hills of Tuscany with wine and sex, the group eventually must fight for their survival.”
Furthermore, fans will see Jessica star in the latest series alongside Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Tanya Reynold, and American star Zosia Mamet. The popular actress took to Instagram and shared her excitement with her fans.
She shared a clip of the trailer and wrote, ‘A little teaser of what’s to come!’ In the first look of the series, the soap actress is seen rocking a darker hair colour and a red & white dress. Fans also jumped to the comments on Jessica’s post with enthusiasm. One of them said, “Wowza! That was a lot to take in. Loving the modern music with the old era.”
Prior to finding fame in Walford, Jessica was also known for being one-fourth of the pop band Neon Jungle. Her band achieved success with hits like Braveheart and Welcome to the Jungle before Jess switched her attention to acting.
It seems like she made the right choice of moving to acting because we love how good she was on the BBC1 soap. Even though she passed away in a tragic death, fans would have loved to see more of her in Albert Square. For more such updates on EastEnders, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily!
