A Tale Of Two Cities further casting announced

New names star alongside Kit Harington, François Civil and Mirren Mack in an exciting new adaptation of Dickens' classic novel

Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Dune: Part 1), Yannick Renier (Reflection In A Dead Diamond), Fehinti Balogun (Down Cemetery Road), Barry Aird (Brassic) Roxane Duran (Interview With The Vampire) Theo Costa-Marini (Andor) and Guillaume Gallienne (The Regime) join Kit Harington (Industry), Mirren Mack (Miss Austen) and François Civil (Beating Heart) in the new four-part drama adaptation of Charles Dickens' literary classic, A Tale Of Two Cities, set to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK and on MGM+ in the US.

The four-part limited series is directed by Hong Khaou (Mr Loverman) and Richard Clark (Outlander), adapted for screen by Daniel West (Gunpowder, Top Boy).

London, 1782. Tensions run high in the war between France and Britain. A young woman, Lucie Manette (Mirren Mack) has her life upended when she receives a message from Paris - her father, assumed dead for almost 20 years, may be alive. The messenger - idealistic French emigré, Charles Darnay (François Civil) - is arrested and charged with treason. Lucie enlists the help of a brilliant but erratic young lawyer, Sydney Carton (Kit Harington), to free Darnay in the hope he will lead her to Paris to track down her father. Lucie's collision with Darnay and Carton unleashes a powerful and complex love triangle.

Both men fight to be worthy of her love, and Lucie is torn over which one to choose. Yet neither man - physically so alike, spiritually poles apart - can escape the other. Instead, they find themselves bound together in life and death, through triumphs, tragedies, marriage, and murder.

A Tale of Two Cities is produced by Federation Stories, in co-production with Federation Studio France and Thriker Films, for MGM+ and the BBC. The Executive Producers are Polly Williams and Sarah Best for Federation Stories, Léo Becker for Federation Studio France, Kit Harington and Daniel West for Thriker Films. The show is created and written by Daniel West, produced by Simon Meyers (I May Destroy You) and directed by Hong Khaou and Richard Clark.
