Mitchell Robertson, Stuart Campbell, Neve McIntosh, Marianne McIvor, Charlie De Melo, Bilal Hasna, Julie Cullen, Philippine Velge, Stuart McQuarrie, Amy Manson, Piers Ewart, Scot Greenan, Charlotte Blackwood and Calum Manchip have all boarded the series.
The show is a six-parter in which Baby Reindeer creator Gadd stars opposite Jamie Bell (All of Us Strangers). They play estranged ‘brothers’ Ruben and Niall over an almost 40-year period, covering the highs and lows of their relationship.
Per the synopsis: “When Ruben shows up unexpectedly at Niall’s wedding, it leads to an explosion of violence that catapults us back through their lives.” Robertson (Curfew, Mayflies) and Campbell (SAS Rogue Heroes, The Winter King) will play Niall (Robertson) and Ruben (Campbell) in their younger years. “Having scoured far and wide and met some of the most amazing talent this country has to offer, I’m so pleased to have landed on the cast that we have,” said Gadd. “I cannot wait for all our actors, young and old, to bring these characters to life.
I have every faith everyone will fall in love with these performers as much as I did.” Currently filming in Scotland, the series comes from Banijay UK production house Mam Tor.
