Filming has commenced in London on Because the Night, a four-part limited series for ITV from Euston Films, part of Fremantle.
Russell Tovey (Years and Years, Him & Her) plays well meaning but directionless Nathan, a man trying to escape his past. Nathan has a terrible secret he's long prayed would stay buried and for which hes long worked hard to make recompense.
Almost a decade into his new and devoted married life, Nathan is rocked to the core when Bob, played by Bertie Carvel (Doctor Foster) an unwelcome face from the past, turns up on his doorstep with shocking news .triggering a series of catastrophic decisions which cleverly drive a tense and compelling narrative of psychological suspense, dread, love and possible redemption.
Additional cast include Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones) as Holly, Nina Toussaint White (GameFace) as Jackie and Paul Bazely (Benidorm) as Graham.
Russell Tovey commented:
Because the Night is going to challenge me as an actor more than I've ever been challenged before. As a web of lies, that he thought was dead and buried, comes back to haunt Nathan, he sinks deeper and deeper into the horror of the event that happened ten years ago. I cannot wait to start filming and join this amazing team and cast
Neil Cross said:
Nathan, Bob and Holly have been with me for many years. I couldn't be more excited to see them brought to life by Russell Tovey, Bertie Carvel and Amrita Acharia
Executive Producers, Kate Harwood and Noemi Spanos said:
We're very excited to be working with the brilliant Russell Tovey in this lead role, we've always been great fans and we are delighted to have him play Nathan. We are excited and know him, Bertie and the rest of the cast will do a fantastic job of bringing Neil's propulsive thriller to life
Because the Night is a Euston Films production for ITV and is distributed internationally by Fremantle. The series was commissioned for ITV by Head of Drama, Polly Hill.
The series is inspired by the novel Burial, also written by Neil Cross (Luther, Hard Sun, Spooks, Mama). Euston Films Managing Director Kate Harwood (Dublin Murders, Hard Sun, Baghdad Central) will executive produce the drama alongside Executive Producer for Euston Films, Noemi Spanos (Dublin Murders). Niall MacCormick (The Victim, The Durrells, Doctor Thorne) will direct each of the 4 x 60' episodes. Jonathan Curling (Tin Star, Baghdad Central) will produce.
The series will film till December and will air on ITV later next year.
Note to Editors:
