Claire Foy, Matthew Macfadyen to Star in 'You Are Here'
The eight-part romance follows two strangers on a coast-to-coast walk and reunites Lenny Abrahamson with the BBC after Normal People.
- The BBC and Starz have greenlit an eight-part adaptation of David Nicholls' novel 'You Are Here,' starring Claire Foy and Matthew Macfadyen in the lead roles as two strangers embarking on a coast-to-coast English countryside walk.
- 'Normal People' director Lenny Abrahamson will helm the production for Dublin-based Element Pictures, reuniting with the BBC for the first time since the acclaimed series. Abrahamson called the novel 'such a beautiful love story — funny, profound, and ultimately deeply hopeful.'
- Author David Nicholls penned the eight-episode series, describing the story as 'finding a connection when you least expect it and overcoming the obstacles of midlife.' The production aims to be 'intimate and epic, funny and dramatic,' balancing romance with genuine emotion.
- Filming is underway in the Lake District and around Manchester, with Fremantle-owned Element Pictures managing international sales through De Maio Entertainment. The production team includes executive producers Andrew Lowe and Emma Norton alongside the creative leads.
- This acquisition follows Starz's recent expansion into British drama, having previously boarded the Bella Ramsey-led 'Maya' and Rebecca Hall-fronted 'The Listeners.' The network continues building its UK content portfolio through high-profile partnerships with established producers.
