Olivia was joined by her beloved actor husband Ed Sinclair – who co-produced the movie.
The Film 4 release, which is set around a 1920s English seaside Sussex town, will hit screens on February 23, 2024.
Olivia takes a starring role as Edith Swan – a deeply conservative woman who is quick to point the finger in her community’s mystery.
Jessie plays Rose Gooding – the fiery younger woman wrongly accused of drafting a spate of hateful letters to various members of the community.
The two-and-a-half-minute teaser trailer, which released in October 2023, gives fans a hint at the show’s outrageous language and playful humour.
It shows Edith and Jessie suited and booted in classic 1920s dress as members of the community run around the town setting traps and conspiring about who the menace of the village really is.
It follows two neighbours: conservative local Edith and rowdy Irish migrant Rose.
When Edith and her fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime.

The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues.
However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit.
While the film is expected to be a smash hit, the shocking real-life story behind the highly-anticipated film and the trials continue to mystify true crime fans today.
Filming of Wicked Little Letters took place around Arundel and Worthing, which doubles for Littlehampton, where the bizarre incident occurred almost a century ago.
Those familiar with the notorious case will know that Edith, a respected member of the community, was eventually exposed as the poison pen author, charged with criminal libel and ultimately tried at Lewes magistrates court in 2021.
The new film is understood to be a lighthearted take on the case, with neighbours joining forces to solve the mystery after the finger of blame is incorrectly pointed at the Gooding.
On two occasions, she would be sent to prison for crimes of which she was totally innocent, and the case would involve four trials in all — each reported unsparingly by the national press and enthralling the nation.
Edith was eventually deemed to be responsible for drafting the obscene letters, but the judge who presided over her case refused to accept the evidence, convinced that Eshe was the kind of Englishwoman incapable of swearing, and found her innocent of the crimes.
In the years since there has been speculation that she was suffering from some kind of mental illness.
