More Starring Cast Join BBC & Starz Love Story ‘You Are Here’
Josiah Green-Mhlanga (Andy and the Band), Karla Crome (Possession) and Tom Stourton (Barbie) have joined Claire Foy and Matthew Macfadyen to star in BBC and Starz drama You Are Here.
Based on David Nicholls’ bestselling book, the series stars Marnie (Foy) and Michael (Macfadyen), who unexpectedly fall in love when their mutual friend Cleo (Crome) brings a group together for a walking weekend in the UK’s Lake District. Green-Mhlanga plays Cleo’s son, Anthony, and Stourton is Conrad, a friend of Cleo’s husband and a reluctant addition to the hike.
As we reported last month, Nicholls has penned the eight-part adaptation, which will be produced by Normal People maker Element Pictures. Lenny Abrahamson, who directed Normal People, is the director.
Element parent Fremantle has international sales rights, with De Maio Entertainment overseeing the partnership with Starz, which has greenlit the show alongside the BBC. Nicholls, Abrahamson, Foy, Macfadyen, Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Emma Norton, Jonny Richards and Anna Ferguson are the exec producers. Clare Shepherd is the producer.
Per the synopsis, “You Are Here is about finding a connection when you least expect it and overcoming the obstacles of midlife. Treading the tricky path from loneliness to love, Marnie and Michael go coast-to-coast across the stunning (and sometimes soaking) English countryside, navigating an undeniable attraction that is as exhilarating as it is terrifying.”
The show will play in the UK and Ireland on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, and in the U.S. on Starz.
