'The Third Day' by HBO sees Florence Welch in her acting debut

Florence Welch features in HBO’s new series ‘The Third Day’.

The series takes place over 4 episodes, each titled by a season. Florence appears in her TV acting debut in ‘Autumn’, the third episode.

The series sees a man travel to the island of Osea, on the coast of Essex (England, UK) and discover their ritualistic way of life. In ‘Autumn’, Florence Welch takes on the role of Veronica, a celtic-style chanteuse who greets him, leads him to a ritual spot and sings an untitled hymn written by Florence.

The episode mirrors many biblical moments, from the wiping of the face by Veronica, to crucifiction, to baptism. All in all, it leads to some stunning visuals.
