Michelle Keegan recently showcased a business-chic ensemble as she left a photoshoot for her new Very range in Manchester. The actress, 39, wore a striking two-tone white and grey top paired with tailored black trousers, complemented by black pointed heels and sunglasses. This appearance comes as Keegan gears up for the release of ITV's new police drama, 'The Blame,' where she portrays Detective Inspector Emma Crane.
'The Blame' and Co-star Chemistry
Keegan has been actively promoting the upcoming series alongside her co-star Douglas Booth, who plays DI Tom Radley. The drama centers on their characters investigating the murder of a teen ice skater, uncovering a complex web of secrets, suspicion, and systemic corruption within a seemingly quiet town. The series is set to air this autumn.
During a promotional event, Keegan shared a selfie with Booth, noting their developing chemistry. She expressed her excitement about working with him and humorously mentioned keeping her "pits dry" during a busy day of meetings in warm London weather, a detail that became a lighthearted talking point.
Keegan recalled her return to work after giving birth to her daughter, Palma, and praised the production team for their support. She described the atmosphere as working with family and highlighted how she and Booth bonded quickly, even over quizzes in the makeup chair.
Further Acting Projects
Following her work on 'The Blame,' Keegan has begun filming for another project, an adaptation of Harlan Coben's novel 'The Woods' for Netflix. This collaboration follows her success in the 2024 Netflix series 'Fool Me Once,' where her performance as Maya Stern garnered significant critical acclaim.
Coben, who created 'Fool Me Once,' is executive producing 'The Woods.' He described the novel as one of his most personal works, drawing parallels to his own experience working as a counselor at a sleepaway camp. Keegan expressed her enthusiasm for the role in 'The Woods,' emphasizing the opportunity to explore her character's vulnerability and the emotional depth of the narrative.
