Stephen Graham: Last News

Netflix fans are buzzing about a new drama series starring Line Of Duty's Stephen Graham.

Ascendant Fox, one of the producers behind hit Stephen Graham indie pic Boiling Point, which is being made into a BBC TV series, has struck a development deal with BBC Studios and signed the commissioner of Netflix’s Bank of Dave.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International When the BBC revealed it was adapting hit British indie film “Boiling Point” into a TV show, it was applauded as one of the most forward-thinking orders made at the public broadcaster in years — demonstrating the kind of savvy seen at global streamers, which are always quick on the draw in commissioning adjacent programming for a hit title. This time, Britain’s public broadcaster had also capitalized on a local sensation. The four-time BAFTA-nominated “Boiling Point” centred on a stressed-out head chef, played by “Matilda” star Stephen Graham, who quickly loses the room in a fast-paced kitchen. The movie, which released in the U.K. in January 2022, used an anxiety-inducing one-shot technique for the entire feature, heightening the intensity of the frenzied kitchen scenes. It later drew comparisons to another claustrophobic kitchen drama, FX series “The Bear,” which premiered last summer.

Vicky McClure is best known for playing DI Kate Fleming - but Line of Duty fans might be surprised to find out she once worked with Madonna. In her early career, the actor starred as Juliette in Filth and Wisdom, the 2008 film that served as the directorial debut for the pop star. The film, which also starred Richard E Grant and Stephen Graham, focused on a man who tries to fund his dreams of becoming a rock star by working as a cross-dressing dominatrix.
