Drama

Focused on a powerful love between mother and daughter, Rain Dogs is a wild ride into the chaotic lives of single mother Costello Jones, played by Daisy May Cooper (This Country), and daughter Iris, played by Fleur Tashjian in her breakout role.

Carraway claims Rain Dogs “isn’t autobiographical”, but there are strong shades of some of her earlier work. Skint Estate, Carraway’s acclaimed debut memoir, chronicled her experiences as a single mum living through poverty and the destructive austerity programme of the 2010s.

When Delia Balmer first met John Sweeney in a Camden pub in 1991, there was no way of knowing the kind of monster he was. Affable and charming, she was immediately drawn to his creative, free-spirited nature, and they began a romantic relationship.

This magnetism quickly faded: John Sweeney was a psychopathic serial killer.

Anna Maxwell-Martin (Motherland) will star as Delia Balmer, whilst Shaun Evans (Endeavour) takes the mantle of John Sweeney.

The new series promises to be full of twists and turns as a new group of characters find their lives turned upside down as they face a battle with loyalty, faith and morality. 

Christine Rees (Rakie Ayola) is a social worker who along with her children, Megan (Mali Ann Rees), Will (Lloyd Everitt) and Jamie (Aaron Anthony), is dealing with the loss of her son and their brother Liam.

The family’s life is thrown into turmoil when an out-of-town stranger Connor (Jordan Wilks) claims to be a previously unknown Rees sibling and looks strangely like Liam.

Beyond Paradise will follow the lives of Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) as they begin a new life together in charming, rural southwest England. 

Eager to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Humphrey takes on the job of Detective Inspector in Martha’s childhood hometown. 

However, the couple soon discover that country life isn’t so quiet, with the town’s surprisingly high crime rate leading to Humphrey tackling a new and challenging case each week. 

The story will unfold in real-time on digital and broadcast platforms, blending live performance with TV drama to create a new form of storytelling. 

Filmed and set in Wales, the series asks the question: what would happen if the future tried to contact us?

Galwad: A Story From Our Future tells the story of Efa (Aisha-May Hunte), a 16-year-old from Swansea who finds her life turned upside down when her 46-year-old mind from 2052 infiltrates her 16-year-old body.

The four-part drama, written by Daf James, focuses on a queer, Welsh adoption story. 

Gabriel is a singer and all round artistic extraordinaire in Cardiff’s queer club space called Neverland, who decides to adopt his first child with his partner Andy.

However, Gabriel has old wounds that need to be healed, leading him to go on a journey of self-discovery and repair the fractured relationship with his dad before he can be the parent he needs to be to 7-year-old Jake. 

Based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Perry, the six-part drama is set in the Victorian times.

Cora (Claire Danes) is newly widowed and ready for a fresh start after being released from her abusive marriage due to the death of her husband. She finds herself drawn to the small village of Aldwinter in Essex, after hearing about a local superstition regarding a mythical sea dragon known as the Essex Serpent.

The four-part drama explores the heartbreak and pain of a family being torn apart from having to make a choice no parent would ever want to make.

Sharon Horgan and Michael Sheen play married couple Nicci and Andrew and together they have two daughters Katie (Alison Oliver) and Marnie (Niamh Moriarty).

However, Marnie is terminally ill with a life-threatening condition and the doctors believe the kindest thing to do would be to let her die.

The four-part drama, written and directed by Stefan Golaszewski, shows an intimate look at the lives of married couple Ian (Sean Bean) and Emma (Nicola Walker) as they navigate the highs and lows of a 30 year marriage. 

Providing a realistic look at what makes a long-term intimate relationship, the drama sees the couple deal with the insecurities, ambiguities, hopes and fears that occur within a marriage. 

The rest of the cast includes James Bolam as Gerry, Emma’s father, Henry Lloyd-Hughes as Jamie, Emma’s Boss, and Chantelle Alle as Jessica, Ian and Emma’s daughter. 

Created and written by Chris Brandon, the new six-part series will see the return of James Nesbitt as the lead character DCI Tom Brannick. 

Nesbitt will be joined by Victoria Smurfit, who plays Olivia, an enigmatic widow who is at the heart of Brannick’s latest case, but looks may deceive, as Smurfit’s intentions aren’t as innocent as they seem.

At the end of the last series, the identity of legendary assassin Goliath was shockingly revealed to be Brannick.
