Set against the cinematic backdrop of southern Spain, the series introduces us to estranged partners-in-crime Bert (Jones) and Sam (Whittaker), who reunite after a long absence to plot one last heist.
Jones agreed that they're "different enough" to co-exist, and hoped that Frauds could inspire "more" diversity in the types of stories being told on British television – and especially those featuring female characters.
"When you look at the scale of the show… placing two females in a [male-dominated] heist world, and also, the location, the odd characters – it feels fresh to me," she told RadioTimes.com. "And obviously that’s what attracted Jodie."
Whittaker concurred: "When I read it, I was just blown away by how different these characters felt [and] this particular relationship, and the world that we were in… but it still felt authentic. I felt like I knew these people.
The former Doctor Who star previously said that British television shows can often have only one challenging female role, acknowledging that she and co-star Jones have had to audition against each other in the past.
Jones added: "It's women behaving how you wouldn't expect women to behave... usually those aspects get diluted and don't end up on screen. But you can't dilute these two people because there's so much frisson and history."
