Gillian Anderson has lined up her next movie role, where she\u2019ll reunite with former co-star Jason Isaacs, as well as starring alongside One Battle After Another\u2019s Chase Infiniti and The Summer I Turned Pretty\u2019s Christopher Briney.<\/p>\n

Production has begun in London for new coming-of-age drama The Julia Set (per Deadline<\/a>), which stars Infiniti as a talented mathematician trying to make her way in the competitive field of academia. <\/p>\n

Briney, meanwhile, stars as Pascal, a teaching assistant who signs Julia up for an elite course to prepare for the Putnam Exam, one of the most challenging maths competitions in the world. The film is penned and directed by Niki Byrne, who last worked on 2021’s Our Home. <\/p>\n

Details are sparse on the rest of the plot or characters for now, but we do know that Anderson will appear once more alongside Isaacs, after the pair last shared the screen together<\/a> as co-stars of 2024\u2019s The Salt Path. <\/p>\n

They also both appeared in Netflix series Sex Education, with Anderson appearing as uninhibited sex therapist Jean Milburn and Isaacs as Peter Groff, the smug older brother of Moordale\u2019s former headteacher. <\/p>\n

The Julia Set is not the only drama Anderson has in the pipeline; she\u2019s also set to star alongside Lola Petticrew in Trespasses, a 1970s-set series set during The Troubles<\/a> in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

The series sees Anderson and Petticrew play a mother-daughter duo, with the latter being at the centre of the story as her character falls in love with a barrister (played by Tom Cullen).<\/p>\n

Billed as a “forbidden love story”, the first trailer depicts the meeting between Cushla (Petticrew) and Michael (Cullen), with their romance becoming more dangerous by the day due to the sharp divide in the community.<\/p>\n

“Worlds apart, Cushla knows a relationship like this spells all kinds of trouble, but they are irresistibly drawn to one another,” the logline reads. <\/p>\n

“In a place where loose lips cost lives and danger lurks in the shadows, amidst the fear and paranoia, this illicit affair between Cushla and Michael ignites and burns bright.”<\/p>\n

The Julia Set does not yet have a release date. <\/strong><\/p>\n
