A new six-part drama written by acclaimed BAFTA and Emmy-winning writer Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Help)
6 x 60'
Keeley Hawes (Miss Austen, Bodyguard) stars as Anna, a devoted nun, and Paapa Essiedu (Harry Potter, Black Mirror, The Lazarus Project) as David, a Catholic priest, in BAFTA and Emmy award-winning writer Jack Thorne’s first ever love story, directed by BAFTA winning Peter Hoar (It’s a Sin, Umbrella Academy). Both are deeply committed to their work in the church and their communities. Neither expected to fall in love. But when they do, both are forced to wrestle with what it means for them, their vows, and their relationship with God. Falling is a witty, moving, contemporary romantic drama that is as honest as it is full of heart.
Also joining the cast of Falling are Rakie Ayola (The Pact, Kaos), Jason Watkins (Coma, The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies), Niamh Cusack (The Virtues, Heartbeat), Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, The Chelsea Detective), David Dawson (My Policeman, The Last Kingdom), Susan Brown (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, It’s A Sin), Sandra Voe (Howards End, Vera Drake) and introducing TV newcomers, Holly Rhys and Shayde Sinclair.
