First-look pictures have been unveiled for the upcoming BBC drama series 'Two Weeks in August', which sees Jessica Raine joined by her real-life husband, Tom Goodman-Hill, among the cast. The eight-part series, written by Catherine Shepherd, follows a group of friends reuniting for a summer holiday in Greece.
The series stars Jessica Raine as Zoe, alongside Damien Molony, Nicholas Pinnock, Antonia Thomas, Leila Farzad, and Hugh Skinner. The cast also includes Dolly Wells, Tom Goodman-Hill, Dylan Brady, Maria Almeida, Khalil Gharbia, Florence Banks, Sonny Poon Tip, and Cassius Hackforth.
Set in Greece, 'Two Weeks in August' tells the story of a woman who goes on holiday with her family and friends to rediscover joy in her life. However, what starts with an illicit kiss quickly turns the dream vacation into a nightmare as Zoe begins to act on her deepest desires, leading to a reckoning for the group of adults who refuse to grow up.
When the group discovers they are trapped on the island and face life-or-death situations, they turn on each other to find who is to blame. The series questions whether Zoe is responsible for the drama or if bigger forces are at play, drawing on the mythology of ancient Greece.
'Two Weeks in August' is produced by Various Artists Limited, known for 'I May Destroy You' and 'Such Brave Girls'. The series was shot in Malta and Gozo and is directed by Tom George and Matthew Moore. It will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
