Street-Racing Drama Curfew To Burn Rubber In Dystopian Britain

Several big names are all getting behind the wheel for Sky’s forthcoming white-knuckle, futuristic drama Curfew.

Curfew tells the story of ordinary people competing in the world’s fastest, most furious, illegal night-time street race. Desperate for their own reasons, the challengers risk everything as they race through the night from London to northernmost Scotland in their pimped-out, weaponised vehicles to win the ultimate prize — freedom from the totalitarian government curfew that controls their lives.

Director Colm McCarthy tweeted this wee taster courtesy of SFX Magazine:

Billy Zane (Titanic) is one of the names to fasten his seat-belt. Miranda Richardson (Churchill), Harriet Walter (The Crown), Michael Biehn (Aliens), Sean Bean (Thrones), Phoebe Fox (Black Mirror) and Phillip Glenister (Life On Mars) have all signed too.

It was written by Matthew Read (Pusher) and is directed by McCarthy (Peaky Blinders, Black Mirror, Sherlock, Dr Who).
