What is Michelle Keegan in next?

Following her success in 2024 Netflix drama Fool Me Once, Michelle is now being tipped to become the newest Bond girl in the next James Bond movie. However, the next Bond movie isn't even in production yet, so it's VERY early days.

Michelle hasn't yet revealed what her next career move will be, but PR expert Nick Ede has told OK! Magazine she's in demand.

He told the publication: “It’s really given Michelle a platform to make her a major star. All eyes are on her at the moment because Netflix is watched by millions of people globally and her series is number one here and in the US.

“She looks every inch the Hollywood leading lady and she has star quality. As a Hollywood producer or director, you want somebody who’s the whole package – and that’s Michelle.”

One show we do know Michelle will appear on is the second series of hit drama Ten Pound Poms, as the show has been renewed for a second series.

The news was announced on Thursday 1st February, with bosses confirming Michelle will reprise her role as nurse Kate Thorne. In April 2024, filming for Ten Pound Poms commenced.

She's also returning to popular Sky comedy Brassic, playing the role of Erin Croft. Series six landed on Thursday 26th September.
