The television thriller series focuses on childhood friends becoming involved with an elite clique, leading them to uncover secrets and a dark past potentially threatening their lives. She is also set to appear in the film “The Nightingale” which is under post-production. The gothic period thriller film is set during 1825, and follows a young woman seeking revenge on a soldier who killed her family.

Personal Life and Social Media

Francois remains very private about her personal life and not much is known as to whether or not she is currently in a relationship. Lacking any information on marriage, she is believed to still be single, and so focused on her career. In an interview, she mentioned that she is a fan of filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson. She’s also added French and Spanish to her list of languages which she studied at college.


One of the reasons there’s very little information about her is due to a lack of presence online. She doesn’t have any public accounts associated with major media web sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
