De Angelis, who is well-known within the Italian TV industry, was propelled into the US spotlight with her breakthrough role in The Undoing this year. De Angelis plays artist Elena in the Sky Atlantic thriller, opposite Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman.

The psychodrama is a modern-age whodunnit. After Elena is murdered with a sculptural hammer in her studio one night, the spotlight falls on her relationship with married pediatrician Jonathan (Grant). Elena also has several intense scenes with Jonathan’s wife, the elusive Grace (Kidman), on the run-up to her untimely death, and reappears in a series of flashbacks during the show.

In real life, De Angelis is also good friends with I May Destroy You creator Michaela Coel, whom she met at a rising stars event in Berlin. “I love her completely,” the actor says of Coel, in an interview with The Times this week.
