‘Inside Man’: David Tennant, Dolly Wells, Lydia West & Stanley Tucci Lead Cast Of Steven Moffat Drama For BBC/Netflix

Inside Man, the new four-part drama from BAFTA and Emmy award-winning writer Steven Moffat (‘Dracula’, ‘Sherlock’, ‘Doctor Who’) has found its lead cast, which includes David Tennant (‘Des’, ‘Staged’, ‘Doctor Who’), Dolly Wells (‘The Pursuit Of Love’, ‘Dracula’, ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’) and Lydia West (‘It’s A Sin’, ‘Years And Years’, ‘Dracula’), with Stanley Tucci (‘Feud’, ‘The King’s Man’, ‘Spotlight’) in the titular role.

The captivating four-part mini-series follows a prisoner on death row in the US, a Vicar in a quiet English town, and a maths teacher trapped in a cellar, as they cross paths in the most unexpected way…

The thriller is written by Moffat who exec produces alongside his wife and partner Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films. Paul McGuigan (‘Sherlock’, ‘Dracula’, ‘Luke Cage’) is set to direct.

“We’re a bit stunned, and very excited, at the acting talent we’re managing to assemble for this show,” commented Moffat & Vertue. “Can’t wait to crawl out of our lockdown bunker and get to work.”

Inside Man is a four-episode, hour-long drama for BBC One and Netflix. It is created and written by Steven Moffat, directed by Paul McGuigan, with Alex Mercer as producer. Executive producers are Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films and Ben Irving for the BBC. Chris Sussman will oversee for Netflix. It was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer, and Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama. BBC Studios are the international distributors and brokered the deal with Netflix.

“We’re delighted to team up with the BBC on another brilliant series from the ingenious mind of Steven Moffat,” adds Chris Sussman, UK Original Series, Netflix. “It’s impossible to say too much about Inside Man without giving away spoilers – so let’s just say the scripts are fiendishly clever, the cast is fantastic and at this point in time, nobody but Steven knows how it’s going to end. We’re thrilled to continue our fruitful partnership with BBC One, BBC Studios and Hartswood Films and are excited about bringing this series to a global audience.”

Inside Man‘ will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK and on Netflix outside of the UK and Ireland. Filming will take place later this year.
