Sky has released a trailer for ‘Jack & The Beanstalk After Ever After‘, starring David Walliams, Sheridan Smith and Blake Harrison, which premieres 23rd December on Sky One.
In the trailer, the once thought dead giant is very much alive! Suffering from memory loss and stuck in the town of Titchington, the Giant (David Walliams) and Jack (Eddie Karanja) form an unlikely friendship and set off on a mission to get the Giant back home. However with news travelling fast amongst the villagers that a Giant is on the loose, many obstacles, and pitchforks, stand in the duo’s way.
Produced by King Bert Productions, the Christmas special is created and written by The Dawson Brothers and David Walliams, who takes on the role of the Giant in this reimagining of the classic tale. Alongside Walliams, Sheridan Smith (Cilla, Cleaning Up, The Royle Family) stars as The Woman with No Name, the self-proclaimed greatest giant-killer in the village and Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners, Trust Me) as Dodgy Dave, a shifty market stall trader who sold Jack the magic beans. Further cast includes Jocelyn Jee Esien who plays Pat, Ashley McGuire as Mayoress and Daniel Rigby as the Baker.
Commissioned by Zai Bennett, Sky UK’s Managing Director of Content and Jon Mountague, Director of Comedy at Sky Studios, and executive produced for Sky by Tilusha Ghelani, ‘Jack & The Beanstalk After Ever After’ is produced by King Bert Productions and executive produced by Jo Sargent (Malory Towers, Ratburger). It is directed by David Sant (The Reluctant Landlord, Benidorm, Yonderland) and produced by Adam Browne. Dan Zeff, Bafta award-winning director (Inside No 9), directs Hansel & Gretel. International distribution will be handled by NBCUniversal Global Distribution on behalf of Sky Studios.
