What Has Freema Agyeman Been Up To Since Leaving The Series?

Freema Agyeman was already a big TV star even before boarding "New Amsterdam." British television fans have fond memories of her time on "Doctor Who" as one of the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant)'s companions. Her character, Martha Jones — a medical student, incidentally — fit so perfectly into the world of "Doctor Who" that she even hopped on over to spin-off "Torchwood" for a handful of guest spots; she still remains as one of the most beloved "Doctor Who" companions ever even a decade after Agyeman's bow on the series. 

Netflix subscribers around the world, meanwhile, may remember Agyeman as Amanita Caplan of "Sense8," the whip-smart, uber-cool, fiercely supportive girlfriend of Nomi Marks (Jamie Clayton), who embarks wholeheartedly into the ensuing lunacy when it turns out that her life partner is at the center of a massive biotechnological conspiracy.

But, in the year since leaving "New Amsterdam," the role in which you can see Freema Agyeman flex her acting muscles is, naturally, the one that she left the NBC medical series to star on: "Dreamland," a British comedy-drama series created by Sharon Horgan and based on her own Sky Arts short "Morgana Robinson's Summer." The series, which premiered on Sky Atlantic on April 6, 2023, became notable as the first-ever lead screen acting vehicle of iconic British singer-songwriter Lily Allen, who plays Mel O'Sullivan — but Agyeman shares lead acting duties with her in the role of Trish, Mel's eldest sister.
