Paramount+ has released some “first look” photos of the upcoming crime thriller ‘Curfew‘, which stars Sarah Parish, Mandip Gill, Mitchell Robertson and Alexandra Burke in an alternative reality where men live under a strict curfew.
An adaptation of Jayne Cowie’s Novel After Dark, ‘Curfew’ is set in an alternative reality where all men live under ‘The Women’s Safety Act’, bound by a strict curfew from 7om to 7am every night with their movements tracked by an ankle tag 24 hours a day.
When a woman’s body is discovered brutally murdered during curfew hours and left on the steps of the Women’s Safety Centre, veteran Police officer Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) believes that a man is responsible. But in a world where men are bound by the curfew system, her theory is rejected. The introduction of The Women’s Safety Act almost three years ago is widely considered as effective at protecting women, who have been able to go out at night without looking over their shoulders, and nobody wants to hear different.
If Pamela proves a man committed this murder, it could bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down… people in high places are determined to make the curfew a success and will do all it takes to prevent Pamela from discovering the truth.
Today’s photos see Sarah Parish (Stay Close) in action for the first time as lead investigator Pamela Green, alongside Mitchell Robertson (Mayflies) who is rookie cop Eddie, shadowing Pamela on his first murder investigation. Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) joins the cast as Sarah, an employee at the local Women’s Safety Centre at the heart of Pamela and Eddie’s investigation. Alexandra Burke (Sister Act) joins the cast as Helen, a well-intentioned local school teacher, advocator for the curfew and close friend of Sarah’s.
Rounding out the cast for the series are Lucy Benjamin (Detectorists), Larry Lamb (Gavin and Stacey), Bobby Brazier (EastEnders), Anita Dobson (EastEnders) Tommy McDonnell (Alice & Jack), Adam Korson (This Is Us), Amy Louise Pemberton (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Imogen Sandhu (Casualty), James Craven (Coronation Street), Selorm Adonu (Man to Man) and newcomer Raphael D’Alterio.
Joasia Goldyn (Britannia) is the Series Director, whilst Lydia Yeoman (The Haze) is the lead writer. Joining Yeoman in the writing team is Jess Green (EastEnders), who wrote episode three and Sumerah Srivastav (Manifest) will wrote episode five. Allan Niblo, Jane Moore and Nathalie Peter-Contesse are Executive Producers on the series for Vertigo Films. John Adams (Damaged) serves as Producer with Diane Shorthouse (Cyberbully) as Co-Producer.
‘Curfew‘ does not yet have a premiere date but will be premiere Paramount+ in the UK in Autumn 2024. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
