NEW YORK, May 18 (UPI) -- CSI: Vegas, Doctor Who and After Life alum Mandeep Dhillon says Seraphina Harrigan, the character she plays on MobLand, has no trouble standing up to the formidable gangsters in her family.
Created by Guy Ritchie and streaming Sundays on Paramount+, the British show follows the Harrigan organized crime clan, led by Seraphina's father Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and his wife Maeve (Helen Mirren).
"She's the result of a one-night-stand her dad had with a stripper at Stringfellows," Dillon, 34, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
"She's hated by Maeve, but it's also made her get a thick skin. She's a hustler. She's driven by power. She's driven by money, and she will get what she wants," the actress explained. "It's been such a joy to get inside of her head. She really is a boss in every single aspect. She's not afraid to tell people about themselves."
This week's episode shows Seraphina returning home to her family in the Cotswalds after she was kidnapped by a rival gang alongside her half-brother Brendan (Daniel Betts) while on a "business trip" in Amsterdam.
