- Josiah Green-Mhlanga, Karla Crome, and Tom Stourton joined the cast of BBC and Starz drama 'You Are Here' alongside previously announced Claire Foy and Matthew Macfadyen.
- Crome plays Cleo, the mutual friend who organizes a Lake District walking weekend that brings Marnie (Foy) and Michael (Macfadyen) together; Green-Mhlanga plays Cleo's son Anthony, and Stourton plays Conrad, a friend of Cleo's husband who is a reluctant addition to the hike.
- David Nicholls wrote the eight-part adaptation of his own bestselling novel, with Lenny Abrahamson directing and Element Pictures — the production company behind Normal People — producing.
- Fremantle holds international sales rights, with De Maio Entertainment overseeing the partnership with Starz; both the BBC and Starz greenlit the series.
- The show will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK and Ireland and on Starz in the U.S., following Marnie and Michael's coast-to-coast journey across the English countryside as they navigate an unexpected midlife connection.
Why it matters: The pairing of Claire Foy (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession) with the Normal People creative team — director Lenny Abrahamson and producer Element Pictures — gives BBC and Starz a prestige co-production aimed at the same audience that drove Normal People's global breakout, with Fremantle handling international sales.
