BBC has announced the lead cast for a new space travel show. Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Stuart Martin, and Iain De Caestecker will star in Sutherland, which will start filming in Scotland next month.
The logline: “Sutherland, the far north of Scotland, the near future. Mirren (Mbatha-Raw) works at Paravel Space Hub as flight director for the UK’s first crewed mission to the stars. Everything is going to plan when, just hours after launch, a series of unexplained events engulf Sutherland in mystery and risks destroying everything Mirren’s been striving for.
As a decades-old conspiracy begins to resurface, local detective Logan (Martin) is unexpectedly pulled back into Mirren’s orbit. When Logan’s investigation and Mirren’s mission threaten to unravel, the pair join forces to make an extraordinary discovery that will change their lives forever.”
