Morning Brew – Heather Peace joins “Prey”

Good morning!

Heather Peace is playing a new kind of role in an ITV mini-series called Prey. She’ll play Abi, the wife of a male cop, and as they are “going through a rough patch, they’re trying not to let it disrupt life for their sons, Max and Finn.” Meanwhile, have you been watching her in the new season of Waterloo Road?

IndieWire made a list of lesbian web series to watch, including one called Hearts and Farts I didn’t know about.

Speaking of web series, there’s a behind-the-scenes video for the show K&A available for your viewing pleasure.

Meanwhile there’s a new one called No Method that is raising money to get made.

Abby Wambach tweeted her thanks to fans for the well-wishing on her marriage to Sarah Huffman.

Sarah and I wanted to thank everyone for all the love and support. We couldn’t be happier. What an amazing week it’s been. #honeymoon
