For the unversed, Keira Knightley is Elizabeth Bennet from ‘Pride & Prejudice‘ (2005). In the film, Knightley makes her acting prowess crystal clear to the audience, and Elizabeth Bennet is one of her most memorable roles. However, for some of us, she is more familiar as Elizabeth Swann from the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies. What’s important to note here is that these two movies indicate her range as an actor, one that only increases with time. For instance, ‘Domino,’ ‘Atonement,’ ‘The Duchess,’ ‘Last Night,’ ‘A Dangerous Method,’ ‘Begin Again,’ ‘The Imitation Game,’ ‘Official Secrets,’ and ‘Boston Strangler.’ The characters that Knightley endorses in these movies are a testament to her abilities. But the truth is, we can’t have enough of her. So here are her upcoming projects.
1. Black Doves Season 2 (TBA)
Netflix has renewed the thriller series ‘Black Doves’ for its second season. Joe Barton, who created the series, remains the writer, with Alex Gabassi and Lisa Gunning returning to direct the episodes. The first season premiered on December 5, 2024, and stars Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire, and Andrew Koji in the leads. Knightley plays the role of Helen Webb, a smart, grounded wife of the Secretary of State for Defence (UK) who leads a secret double life as a spy.
Considering the political rise of Helen’s husband, Wallace, she will have more government secrets to carry in season 2. Moreover, her stunts with Sam against the Clark crime family will definitely have consequences, which will also be explored. Other than Knightley as Helen, Whishaw as Sam Young, and Lancashire as Reed, the cast members most likely to return include Andrew Buchan as Wallace Webb, Omari Douglas as Michael, Kathryn Hunter as Lenny Lines, Ella Lily Hyland as Williams, Gabrielle Creevy as Eleanor, Luther Ford as Hector, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Zack. Filming is underway in London. A release date is awaited.
