In a recent interview withMarie Claire, Keddie said she was drawn to the show because it was relatable to women everywhere.

“The show is about ambition,” she told the publication last month. “I’m not playing Mia, but a woman we’ve created. I’m hoping it’s relatable to women in their forties who find themselves feeling as if they want to do more and want to offer more.”

“I very consciously made sure we exposed her [Evelyn’s] private victories and failures as much as we do the public ones. I wanted the audience to go on a journey with me, not watch me go through it.”

Strife premieres on BINGE on December 6 and will also be available on Foxtel
