What Phoebe Waller-Bridge Has Been Doing Since Fleabag Ended?

One of the journalists who interviewed Phoebe Waller-Bridge gave what seems to be the best description of her: "with the looks of a pre-Raphaelite muse […] she swears like a sailor."

Thanks to her charisma and unwillingness to limit herself, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has already established the image of a freedom-loving and sharp-tongued woman.

In the summer of 2016, the first season of Fleabag, the long-awaited adaptation of the play of the same name, aired on BBC Three. The first season became a sensation in the UK and was warmly received by the press.

The second season received rave reviews from the press and audiences alike, winning major television awards (five Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes) and appearing more often than other series on the top of the best of the year lists.

In between seasons of Fleabag, she was approached to adapt writer Luke Jennings' novel Codename Villanelle, a spy thriller about a cat-and-mouse game between a ruthless assassin and an MI-5 analyst that turns into a mutual obsession.

Killing Eve 's first season was one of 2018's biggest surprises, with Waller-Bridge earning praise for her masterful balance of cringe comedy, psychological thriller, and drama, as well as for two well-written characters who made every scene feel tense.

After leaving Killing Eve, Phoebe hasn't been out of work for long: she helped her friend Vicky Jones create her first stand-alone series, the romantic thriller Run, starring Merritt Wever and Domhnall Gleeson.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge was not only an executive producer, but also had a brief but important role in the show.

Now Phoebe, who once dreamed of making Meryl Streep laugh (and she did), has gained a large number of celebrity and influential fans.

Thanks largely to Daniel Craig 's wife Rachel Weisz, who is also a member of this fan club, Craig invited Phoebe to join the screenwriting team for one of the Bond istallments, No Time To Die.

For a time, Waller-Bridge was attached to star in Amazon's remake of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but eventually dropped out of the project due to creative differences with project partner Donald Glover.

She did, however, land the female lead role in the fifth Indiana Jones movie – Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
