Joanne Mitchell – Wiki, Bio, Age, Husband, Net Worth

Since forming Mitchell-Brunt Films, Mitchell has expressed a desire to push boundaries and to merge drama and horror in unique ways. She wrote and produced two short horror films The Mighty Witch Killers of Pendle Hill and Shell Shocked. She then co-starred in the claustrophobic chiller White Settlers (2014) and the Manchester-set Habit (2016). She conceived, produced and starred in the zombie drama Before Dawn (2013) and ‘female revenge’ thriller Bait (2015).

Mitchell has had four roles in Emmerdale. Her first in the long-running rural soap was in 2003, when she played DS Karen Barnborough in two episodes. She had further roles as Midwife Yeo and Susan Davies and, in 2016, took over the role of Sandra Flaherty (née Livesy).

In 2003 Mitchell married fellow Emmerdale actor Dominic Brunt, with whom she founded Mitchell-Brunt Films. After a white-collar female amateur boxing bout in New York’s Gleason’s Gym, Mitchell expressed hopes of developing a movie based on the experience. She is a practising Nichiren Buddhist and a supporter of the charity Hope For Justice.
