She may look like an old lady dressed in her furs, but be warned … she’s deadly.

The first look at Glenn Close as an elderly killer in Channel 4 series “Up to No Good” has been revealed, showing the eight-time Oscar nominee ready to cause havoc on the streets of London.

First announced with the title “Maud,” the six-part drama is based on Helene Tursten’s short story collections “An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good” and “An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed.” It was written by acclaimed playwrights Nina Raine (“Bach & Sons,” “Consent”) and Moses Raine (“Donkey Heart”), marking the first original television series created by the duo, and is being directed by Lee Haven Jones (“A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story,” “Y Sŵn”). It was developed and produced by Playground for Sony Pictures Television, who will distribute globally.
