Next came Under The Banner Of Heaven, an Andrew Garfield crime miniseries that once again saw Edgar-Jones taking her American accent out for a spin. She played the real-life figure Brenda Lafferty, a confident broadcast journalist who was murdered in her home with her infant daughter in 1984.

For Edgar-Jones, this was her most important role to date. It was also the role that made her passionate about advocating for strong female characters. She wanted her performance to “celebrate her life and for her to have a voice”. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, she added: “I learned how important it is and how little we see on-screen women sort of helping other women. Instead of sort of tearing each other down or poking holes in each other, actually supporting and bringing each other up, and that kind of community, I think that was a real sort of learning thing and something that I now in my next projects would want to seek to sort of make sure to always tell.”
