Diane Kruger says it is an exciting time for female characters in television because we are seeing more and more shows featuring these great roles.
The actress is set to switch the big screen for TV as she will lead the cast in crime series The Bridge.
Kruger will play a cop with Asperger’s alongside Oscar nominated actor Demian Bichir.
And Kruger says that we are seeing more and more great female role appearing on TV.
Speaking to Collider the actress said: "There will continue to be movies that have great female roles, but I definitely think that, on cable television, from Mad Men to Homeland to Robin Wright in House of Cards, those female parts are so well written, that that’s really what it comes down to.
"It seems to me that they thrive. The audience is looking for characters like that, and it’s very exciting for women, definitely."
And while Kruger is making the move into TV we will be seeing her back on the big screen in The Green Blade Rises.
She is set to take on the role of Sarah Lincoln in the biopic that is directed by A.J. Edwards.
