Coronation Street, Call The Midwife and Trigger Point stars team up for gritty new BBC drama Domino Day
FRESH drama will be playing out on our screens with brand new major series Domino Day.
Experienced actors have joined the project after starring in popular programs like Coronation Street, Trigger Point and Call The Midwife.
BBC Three is joining forces with Fremantle’s Dancing Ledge Productions for Domino Day.
The six-part supernatural program will star Adult Material‘s Siena Kelly as Domino Day, a young woman on all of the dating apps.
But her goal won’t be to find a soulmate as she’s on the prowl for a good prey.
A young witch with extraordinary powers, Domino is seeking a community who can help her understand who she is.
Little does she know a whole coven of witches is tracking her every move, ready to take her down as they fear her powers may become too hard to handle.
Domino is caught up by a dangerous figure from her past – will it be a fresh start or a final showdown?
Some viewers will be stumbling upon multiple familiar faces in the gritty new show.
Alisha Bailey, who appeared as Alecia Palmer in Call The Midwife before moving on to Strike, is joining the line-up along with Trigger Point‘s John Hudson actor Kris Hitchen.
Four years after a cameo in Coronation Street as James Bailey’s friend Rich, Christopher Jeffers will also be showing up in Domino Day as will Sherwood actress Maimuna Memon.
Siena Kelly will also be joined on-screen by budding stars in the likes of Babirye Bukilwa (We Hunt Together, Neighbors), Poppy Lee Friar (In My Skin, Life And Death In The Warehouse), Molly Harris (Industry, Monsoon), Sam Howard-Sneyd (Clarity and Chaos, The Children) and Percelle Ascott (The Innocents, I Came By).
Domino Day was created and written by BAFTA nominated Lauren Sequeira and is set and filmed in Manchester.
Speaking about her new project, Lauren teased: “I wanted to write a supernatural series that wasn’t only thrilling and twisty, but also tapped into the very real dating scene and how it affects modern relationships.”
“As soon as I saw Siena Kelly I knew she was my Domino. She has an amazing way of showing both strength and vulnerability in just one look. I’m so excited about the rest of the cast joining her — Percelle, Sam, Babirye, Alisha, Poppy, Molly — they’re all brilliantly cool, edgy, and witchy. I can’t wait for the world to meet them all.”
