Colman, 47, looked drastically different from her role in The Crown, ditching her royal garms for a decidedly more haggard look.
She dons a drab, bland coloured cardigan to pair with her shaggy, greying haircut as she assumes her role as a haughty housewife alongside David Thewlis.
The story, inspired by real events, tells a bizarre love story between Susan and Christopher Edwards, a seemingly normal couple whose lives begin to unravel when the police come knocking.
The pair are taken into police custody when two dead bodies are discovered in the back garden of their Nottingham home.
The four-part series, created and written by Colman’s husband, Ed Sinclair, sees Colman looking rather different to her usual glam look.
The show is being produced by Sister Pictures, the same company that made Chernobyl.

The mild-mannered couple "have been on the run from reality for over 15 years," according to the show's synopsis.
Then when Christopher makes a startling call home to his step-mother, their role in a terrible crime that remained undiscovered for over a decade begins to emerge into the light.
As their relationship is subjected to the glare of a full police investigation, the devoted couple are separated for the first time in their marriage.
As the investigation moves forward, inspired by Susan’s obsession with old Westerns and classic cinema the fantasists cast themselves as Hollywood heroes in narratives of their own invention.
Landscapers will air on Sky Atlantic and streaming service NOW later this year.
