British actress Jameela Jamil is coming home to the BBC, announced today to guest star in the broadcaster’s highly anticipated legal drama spin-off, The Split Up. Known globally for her roles in The Good Place and Marvel’s She-Hulk, Jamil is stepping into the charged world of Manchester’s high-net-worth divorce circuit, a very different scene from the US streaming platforms where she's spent recent years. The six-part series is already drawing attention for its focus on a powerhouse British south Asian family firm, Kishan Law, which is a major draw for streaming release buzz.
