Sean Bean/Adrian Lester To Star In Street Race Drama ‘Curfew’ For Sky One
Sky has pulled together a really great cast for it’s exhilarating new street race drama ‘Curfew‘, which starts shooting later this year for Sky One.
Sean Bean (Broken, Game of Thrones), Adrian Lester (Riviera, Hustle), Phoebe Fox (Blue Iguana, Intrigo: Samaria), and Malachi Kirby (Black Mirror, Roots) star as ordinary people competing in the world’s fastest, most furious, illegal night-time street race. Desperate for their own reasons, the challengers risk everything as they race through the night from London to northernmost Scotland in their pimped-out, weaponised vehicles to win the ultimate prize – freedom from the totalitarian government curfew that controls their lives.
“When Sky does dramas about car races, we do them like no other broadcaster,” comments Sky’s head of drama Anne Mensah. “Funny, emotionally truthful, visceral and above all fast – ‘Curfew’ is the perfect Sky One show.”
Curfew is written and executive produced by Matthew Read (Pusher, Hammer of the Gods). The series is executive produced for Tiger Aspect Productions by Will Gould and Frith Tiplady in association with their new independent production company, Moonage Pictures, and directed by Colm McCarthy (The Girl With All The Gifts, Peaky Blinders).
“Sky have been incredibly supportive throughout the development of such a bold and ambitious show,” adds Read. “And I couldn’t be more pleased by the creative team that has been assembled to deliver a story that we have filled with as much excitement, emotion and dynamism as possible.”
The cast of ‘Curfew’ also includes Robert Glenister (Hustle, Spooks), Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Troy: Fall of a City, Peaky Blinders), Rose Williams (Reign, A Quiet Passion), Elijah Rowen (Vikings) and Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen, Borderline).
No news on an air date for ‘Curfew‘ yet, but it shoots later this year, so that probably means it’ll show up in 2019. We also feel we should start taking bets now on whether Sean Bean makes it to the end of the first season…
We will let you know when we hear more.
