The BBC and A24 are jointly producing an adaptation of The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Alice Birch (Normal People) will adapt the novel for screen, while Aneil Karia (Hamlet 2025) will be lead director on the 6-episode series.
Aoife Hinds will play Sophy, who joins “a newly established government department gathering ‘expats’ from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel.” Billy Howle will play Commander Graham Gore, “a Victorian polar explorer and one of several ‘expats’ from history who are now part of the Ministry’s extraordinary experiment.”
Eventually, “the professional friendship between Sophy and Graham develops into an intense forbidden romance, just as the sinister nature of the Ministry’s true intentions increasingly puts them in danger.”
