Based on the eponymous book by psychologist Micki Pistorius, “Catch Me a Killer” sees “Game of Thrones” breakout Charlotte Hope in the lead role as the psychology professor turned serial killer profiler. Hope played Myranda, the sadistic servant and lover of Ramsey Bolton, over the course of several seasons of Game of Thrones. She also appeared in the British biographical romantic drama A United Kingdom and the Brad Pitt thriller Allied. The actress will next be seen in The Three Christs of Ypsilanti opposite Richard Gere. Game of Thrones and The Nun actress Charlotte Hope is set to appear as Micki Pistorius, South Africa’s first-ever serial-killer profiler, in Catch Me a Killer, a new true crime series from Germany’s Night Train Media and South Africa’s M-Net/Showmax.

The brutality of war and the heartbreak of unrequited love – this is the heady material actors live for. For Charlotte Hope, her character had to to experience both of those things on the second season of The Spanish Princess, now streaming on StarzPlay. Charlotte Hope, best known for her work on HBO’s Game of Thrones, has joined the cast of New Line’s The Nun, the latest spinoff from James Wan’s horror universe based on characters from the Conjuring movies. Another positive that has come from the show is her current relationship with her former co-star Ruairi O’Connor (who played the role of Prince Harry). Years later, Hope began to watch “The White Princess,” which starred a longtime friend of hers, Jodie Comer (who played Elizabeth of York). Hope captured her first leading role in the Starz TV series “The Spanish Princess” in 2019, a follow up to the 2017 Starz TV series “The White Princess,” Hope plays Catherine of Aragon.

Hope’s upcoming projects include the upcoming series “Catch Me a Killer,” where she will play South Africa’s first serial-killer profiler Micki Pistorius. Hope stars as Micki Pistorius, the first South African serial-killer profiler, in the new true-crime series from Night Train Media and M-Net/Showmax. To land the role of Catherine, Hope sent in six different audition tapes—unprompted. Upon landing the role, she dove deep into the research of the character, going so far as to have her then-boyfriend’s history buff father test her on the specifics of the era. It’s as if Tracy Flick came to life, with more charm and a British accent. “I was very determined,” she confirmed when asked how she did in school.

Charlotte Hope (born 15th October, 1991[1]) is an English actress. She first achieved recognition for her recurring role as Myranda in the third through fifth seasons of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones (2013–2016). Hope gained further prominence in the lead role of Catherine of Aragon on the Starz historical drama series The Spanish Princess (2019–2020). In 2020, she appeared as a series regular on the second season of the ITV thriller Bancroft and the Netflix biographical drama The English Game. Hope headlined the Showmax true crime series Catch Me a Killer as forensic psychologist Micki Pistorius in 2024. The Spanish Princess marks Hope’s first leading role, and she is certainly not taking that for granted.

Hope will play Sister Victoria, a nun haunted by a demonic presence. Charlotte Hope is an actress who appeared in "The Spanish Princess," "The English Game," and "Les Misérables." Suffice to say, Charlotte’s career is alive and thriving and we hope to see more from this talented actress in the future. She stayed on the show until season six of the series, when her corpse was found and Ramsay paid his respects.

And they tell us as much about the men that wrote it as Catherine,” she says. With The Spanish Princess based on a series of historical fiction novels by British author Philippa Gregory, the series has faced criticism for taking some liberties for dramatic purposes. The series also reaffirms certain timeless principles of politics. According to Hope, such a defiant streak was not only a sign of the times, but speaks of a truth that still resonates today. The new season of The Spanish Princess marks the final instalment of a 16-part series spanning Catherine of Aragon's rise from teenage royal to Queen of England. The British actress, 29, had to summon myriad emotions in her role as Catherine of Aragon, viewed by historians as the power behind King Henry VIII of 16th-century England, before he divorced her for Anne Boleyn.

Actress

She was announced in the role on 28 June 2012.[1] She has appeared in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth seasons. Sands can soon be seen in Phillip Noyce’s Blood Relative and Terence Davies’ Benediction, and has just completed filming on Mike Figgis’ Mother Tongue. The Leaving Las Vegas and The Killing Fields actor recently starred in Venice title The Painted Bird with Harvey Keitel and Stellan Skarsgård, and recurred on the Netflix series What/If with Renee Zellweger.

Jon Avnet is directing from a script he wrote with Eric Nazarian, adapted from biographical novel by Milton Rokeach. The story follows a doctor (played by Gere) who is treating three paranoid schizophrenic patients at the Ypsilanti State Hospital in Michigan, each of whom believe they are Jesus Christ. While it is a well-worn tale, the show manages to put its own mark on history by contextualising how out of step Catherine is as both wife and leader. As a partner to Henry VIII, she is devoted and keenly aware of his frailties.

Beside her role in Game of Thrones, she has appeared in Waking the Dead, Missing, and Casualty. She appeared in The Theory of Everything alongside fellow Game of Thrones actors Harry Lloyd and Enzo Cilenti, in The Testament of Youth with Kit Harington, and in the upcoming movie The Invisible Woman with Michelle Fairley. “We also didn’t want to have the score run through the whole thing all the time. In a lot of American procedural dramas, the score is in every scene and I wanted to have music only when I needed to say or evoke something,” added Lockey, who highlighted the series’ “incredible” production value. Through the fast-moving eight-episode season, we see Catherine embody the responsibilities of the title she's bestowed, displaying killer instinct as a politician, diplomat and solider on the battlefield.

“For four or five years, I was working at a nightclub in the evening and going to auditions in the day,” she said. From there, she appeared in several Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, most recently in 2018’s Good for Otto. It was during that run that she learned she got the part in The White Princess. Charlotte Hope, the actress best known for playing Myranda in Game of Thrones and Catherine of Aragon on the historical drama The Spanish Princess, has landed a lead role in new true crime series Catch Me a Killer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hope will play Micki Pistorius, South Africa’s first-ever serial killer profiler.

More than just trying to reshape the global map, Catherine also wants her pioneering persona recorded in history, in hopes of shattering expectations for future generations of women. She will also star in the upcoming horror film “The Piper,” which is described as a “darker reimagining” of the classic Pied Piper tale. However, Hope believes that getting this role is instead a result of her hard work. After sending in six unprompted and different audition tapes to play Catherine, she got the call that her dream was now a reality.

Hope was cast in the role of Myranda, the cold-blooded lover of Ramsay Bolton (played by Iwan Rheon), in 2013. Hope most recently starred in the Starz series The Spanish Princess, where she played the titular role of Catherine of Aragon. She also starred in Julian Fellowes’ Netflix miniseries The English Game, and opposite Demian Bechir in the feature film The Nun for New Line. “Erlingur wrote a chilling script that adapts the sinister tale of the Pied Piper into a modern day horror villain. The story and team, including iconic composer Christopher Young, has attracted an amazing cast led by Charlotte and Julian.

“I auditioned for The White Queen, and when I didn’t get it, I was hysterically crying,” Hope, 27, recalled. Your agent’s are always like, ‘Oh don’t worry, something better is coming.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t believe in destiny, that’s rubbish. I’m going to be unemployed.’ Then I watched The White Princess because I’m obsessed with Jodie. She and I also did an episode of Law & Order together a few years ago.” How’s that for dramatic irony ultimately working out in, well, everyone’s favor? “I believe in working hard and that hopefully will work out,” she said.

She also starred in the movie “Three Christs” as Becky with her former co-star Peter Dinklage (who played Tyrion Lannister in “Game of Thrones”). Night Train Media, set up by Kloiber in 2020 to finance, produce and distribute high-end international television series, is backed by private equity investor Serafin Group. The country’s femicide rate is five times higher than the global average, with approximately nine women murdered every day in 2022. Filming has begun in Cape Town and is expected to continue in Pretoria and other parts of rural South Africa. The show will premiere on South Africa’s M-Net/Showmax in 2023, while Abacas Media Rights will handle international distribution, with the series set to be presented at MIPCOM in Cannes next week.

Outside television, Hope's film roles include The Theory of Everything (2014), The Nun (2018), and The Chelsea Cowboy (2023). She also voiced one of the playable characters in the action-adventure video game We Happy Few (2018). Hope, who played Myranda in Game of Thrones and headlined Starz’s The Spanish Princess as Catherine of Aragon, will star in Catch Me a Killer, which is adapted from Pistorius’ memoir.
