Doctor Who's Anita Dobson among new cast joining Mandip Gill and more in Curfew
The upcoming thriller is based on a popular novel.
Anita Dobson has joined the cast of Paramount Plus thriller Curfew alongside fellow EastEnders alumni Larry Lamb, Lucy Benjamin and Bobby Brazier.
The previously announced series is based on Jayne Cowie's novel After Dark, imagining a world in which an act of Parliament is passed which requires all men to wear ankle tags and adhere to a strict 7pm curfew.
Against this tense backdrop, police officer Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) investigates the murder of a woman during curfew hours, with her findings potentially having major consequences for society at large.
Mitchell Robertson (Mayflies), Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) and Alexandra Burke (Pretty Red Dress) were previously announced to be co-starring in Curfew opposite Parish.
