- Anna Maxwell Martin has been active on TV in 2024–2025 with new projects beyond Motherland. Reports from early 2025 indicate she joined a For All Mankind spin-off in a key role, signaling continued high-profile TV work. This project, Star City, would explore the Soviet space program from the perspective of the Cold War era, with Martin cast as Lyudmilla, a senior KGB figure.[1]
- She’s also been tied to a BBC true-crime drama from Jimmy McGovern, described in mid-2025 press as a challenging, emotionally intense series about a family facing grave trauma. This marks a shift toward serious drama, expanding her range beyond comedy.[6]
- In addition, there were reports around 2024–2025 of a return to the BBC/Lionsgate ecosystem with another project, and ongoing interest in continuing long-running collaborations like Ludwig and other McGovern collaborations, suggesting a busy slate with both returning and new roles on major platforms.[4][5]
