Another day, another new Netflix series coming to a screen near you!

Naomi Watts, 48, will play Jean Halloway, a therapist with a dark secret in the upcoming Netflix original drama Gypsy.

Illicit affairs, drama and intrigue – if you were a fan of Big Little Lies, we get the feeling Gypsy will be right up your alley.

At the start of the trailer, we hear her character recite, “I will always provide a safe and trusting haven for my patients. I will remain objective in my relationships. I will not violate the physical boundaries of the patient. And will always do no harm.”

It doesn’t take long to realise that Jean struggles to live up to her promises.

As her professional and personal relationships begin to blur, the rule book gets thrown out the window and Jean’s seemingly picturesque life begins to unravel very quickly.

The series was written by Hollywood newcomer, Lisa Rubin and directed by Fifty Shades Of Grey’s Sam Taylor Johnsonas well as Victoria Mahoney and Coky Giedroyc.
