For 5 nights consecutive
If there’s one thing Sheridan Smith is sure to do, it’s deliver a standout performance.
We do love a SS drama here on telly addicts 😂
From her gut-wrenching portrayal of grief in BBC One’s Four Lives (www.stylist.co.uk/entertainment/four-lives-episode-three-review/607622) to her hilarious cameos as Smithy’s sister Rudi in Gavin And Stacey (www.stylist.co.uk/tag/gavin-and-stacey),
we know the Bafta-winning actor is sure to rise to the occasion. No wonder that we’re seriously excited for her upcoming thriller series.
Smith and Céline Buckens (Showtrial (www.stylist.co.uk/tag/showtrial)) star as sisters in
The Castaways
, a new Paramount+ drama series based on Lucy Clarke’s bestselling novel.
Here’s everything to know so far, including the newly released trailer for the series
After a huge fight on holiday, Lori (Smith) boards a plane to Fiji, while Erin (Buckens) does not.
The flight never arrives at its destination and months later, no wreckage has been located.
But Erin refuses to believe that her sister is gone.
When Erin learns that Lori’s credit card has been used on a remote Fijian island and later recognises the plane’s pilot on CCTV, she boards a plane to Fiji to track down the truth. Sounds dark and intriguing.
As well as Smith and Buckens, the series also features Brendan Cowell (Avatar: The Way Of Water) as pilot Mike Brasse, Dominic Tighe (The Boys In The Boat) as fellow passenger Daniel Eldridge, Lasarus Ratuere (The Tourist (www.stylist.co.uk/entertainment/tv/the-tourist-bbc-one-2/765846)) as Felix Vatuba and Charlotte Vega (Burial) as Amber Gordon.
On the series, author Lucy Clarke said it “promises to be an incredible adaptation; the scriptwriting
is electric, and Sheridan and Céline are perfectly cast as Lori and Erin”.
