Olivia Cooke has also made some notable genre contributions in television. Here's several that might interest fans of science-fiction, fantasy and horror.
'The Secret Of Crickley Hall'
This is an adaptation of the novel 'The Secret of Crickley Hall' (2006), which was written by my favourite English horror novelist, James Herbert. I've never understood why horror filmmakers have been unable to bring Herbert's stories to the big screen successfully. One day, this will hopefully happen.
Olivia Cooke went on to act in 'Vanity Fair', an adaptation of the satirical novel 'Vanity Fair' (1848) by William Makepeace Thackeray, which might just be my all-time favourite English non-genre novel.
'Bates Motel'
I've not watched this show but I know it has its fans.
"I'm a lady."
'House Of The Dragon'
I assume there will be several different 'Game Of Thrones' spinoffs coming in the next few years, and this is one of them. Olivia Cooke is set to play the role of Alicent Hightower in this upcoming fantasy series which is said to be hotly anticipated. She worked with 'Game Of Thrones' star Maisie Williams on 'The Secret Of Critchley Hall'.

I watched the movie 'Thoroughbreds' which has been mentioned several times on this thread in a positive light. I thought it was interesting, a formal exercise in tension and character dynamics that relied heavily on the dry comic interplay between Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy. It's redolent of films like Joel Seria's 'Don't Deliver Us From Evil' (1971), Jean Rollin's 'Requiem For A Vampire' (1971), Rafal Zielinski's 'Fun' (1994) and Peter Jackson's 'Heavenly Creatures' (1994), a psychological two-hander about female companionship and psychopathy, though this one draws on the mannerisms of the mumblecore movement. I'm glad to have seen it

There's a new article that's been published online at 'Manchester Evening News' about local girl Olivia Cooke making good in Hollywood. It's a really nice piece written by Andrew Bardsley, published on 6th April 2021 and focusing on her participation in Darius Marder's 'Sound Of Metal' (2020) which has received 6 Academy Award nominations.
