Joining The Last of Us star Ramsey, Tamara Lawrance and former Time Lord Jodie Whittaker are BAFTA-award winner Sophie Willan, Julie Graham (Shetland), Alicia Forde (Waterloo Road), Lisa Millett (The A Word), Faye McKeever (The Responder), Kayla Meikle (The Capture), James Corrigan (This Is Going to Hurt), Nicholas Nunn (Clique) and Maimuna Memon (Sherwood).
The three-parter, which is penned by Jimmy McGovern and Helen Black, will move to life inside a women’s prison called Carlingford, where Kelsey (Ramsey), Orla (Whittaker) and Abi (Lawrance) are thrown together to face an unfamiliar world. With the ever-present threat of violence within its walls, they discover that an unexpected sense of community, and a shared understanding, still might be possible.
“Jimmy McGovern delivered an incredible first series of Time and the second instalment shares the same quality of stellar casting and storytelling,” said Reemah Sakaan, CEO BritBox International. “This extraordinary line-up of female actors represents some of the best British talent on screen today, and we can’t wait to share it with viewers in North America.”
Time is made and sold by BBC Studios. Additional funding and support comes from the Liverpool Film Office. The series is produced by Mark Hedges (Hanna), with executive producers Priscilla Parish, Michael Parke and Andrew Morrissey for BBC Studios, Lucy Richer for the BBC, Reemah Sakaan and Stephen Nye for BritBox North America and McGovern. Andrea Harkin is director and EP.
