But did you know Anna has also starred in a BBC sitcom and Sky film with her partner Michael? Here's all the details:

Are Michael Sheen and Anna Lundberg married?

The couple made their first public appearance in May 2019 at the screening of Good Omens in New York.

Just a few months later, in July 2019, they announced they were expecting a child and now have a two-year-old daughter together named Lyra. Anna regularly shares pictures on her Instagram account of the family.

It's not believed the couple have tied the knot.

They announced on March 1, 2022 that they were expecting a second child together. Michael took to his Twitter to share the news with his 580k followers, where he tweeted: "…..it appears there may be another on the way! #AngelDelight"

Meanwhile, Anna shared the same picture as Michael via her Instagram showing their hands on her baby bump with the caption: "At these dark times, here's our little bit of light that we can share".

What has Anna Lundberg starred in?

Anna made an appearance on the 2021 Gogglebox Celebrity special for Stand Up to Cancer alongside her partner Michael. But that isn't the only time the pair have shared the big screen together.

In 2020, Anna starred alongside Michael and fellow actor David Tennant and his wife Georgia Tennant in a BBC show titled Staged. It went on to have a second series in 2021.

The sitcom saw Michael and David star as fictionalised themselves, as they rehearsed for a play during the lockdown using just video-technology and tried to avoid the many inevitable distractions along the way.

Michael's partner Anna and David's partner Georgia also starred, as they joined their partners on their regular video calls.

In an interview with The Radio Times in January 2021, Anna explained how she didn't know she was going to be in the show until last minute. She said: "I didn’t even know that I was going to be in Staged until just before you were about to start filming the pilot script." addressing Michael she said: “You said to me, ‘Oh, and by the way, you’re in it.’ I didn’t have much time to think about it.”

She also added how it was nice to have Michael at home during the lockdown and with filming Staged. She said: "And the luxury of Michael just being at home has really been amazing and Lyra has certainly loved it. Otherwise Michael’s always sort of popping in and out and now you’ve really been able to fully be here. We’ve been able to connect together as a family, and that routine has kept us sane."

In 2021, Anna also starred alongside her partner in The Last Train to Christmas. The film saw Michael star as Tony Towers, a successful nightclub owner, but when he embarks on a train journey for a family reunion, he ends up going back and forth in time when moving along the train carriages.

Anna starred during the 1970s carriage as a Swedish character named Astrid.

Series one of Staged is available to watch on Netflix.
