What happened in Joan season 1?
Season 1 of ITV’s Joan followed the story of the infamous real-life jewellery thief, Joan Harrington, who became notorious for swallowing and stealing millions of pounds of jewels in 1980s London. Sophie Turner played the glamorous criminal, taking us on the journey from Joan’s troubled first marriage to her criminal escapades to her eventual downfall.

What might happen in Joan season 2?
Joan is based on a real-life jewel thief, so it would make sense if season 2 continued to trace Joan’s real life. On the other hand, the final episode of season 1 strayed a little from the true story. In real life, Boisie died in a fire during a botched insurance fraud plot and Joan decided to give up her life of crime. Instead of turning herself into the police, as she does in the show, she opened her own insurance business.
