Georgina Campbell
Filming has begun on new BBC One modern thriller One Of Us, written by Harry and Jack Williams (The Missing, Tripped). Set in Edinburgh and the Highlands, a host of acclaimed actors will take on roles in this gripping and powerful character-driven drama.
BAFTA winner Georgina Campbell (Murdered By My Boyfriend, The Ark) will star alongside Juliet Stevenson (The Village, Truly, Madly Deeply) will star alongside Joanna Vanderham (The Paradise, The Go-Between), Laura Fraser (Breaking Bad, Peter & Wendy), John Lynch (The Fall, Sliding Doors), Adrian Edmondson (War And Peace, Prey). Along with Joe Dempsie (Game Of Thrones, Skins) Julie Graham (Shetland, The Bletchley Circle), Gary Lewis (Stonemouth, Filth), Steve Evets (Rev, Looking For Eric) and Kate Dickie (Prometheus, Game Of Thrones).
Living side by side in isolated rural Scotland, the Elliot and Douglas families know each other inside out. However, when two of them are horrifically murdered, their lives are shattered and their relationships, both between and within the grieving families, are tested to the limit.
In the search for answers, skeletons are unearthed and old wounds are reopened, as honesty, loyalty and morality is all brought into question. Everyone has secrets, but when the lines between right and wrong, good and bad, true and false, become blurred, what path do you take, and how do you cope with the lasting and deadly consequences.
Harry and Jack Williams say: “One Of Us is a thriller but also at heart a character piece. So it’s wonderful to have such a talented cast. We can’t wait to see how they bring it to life.”
One Of Us is part of the BBC’s commitment to produce distinctive Scottish output, and complements BBC Scotland productions including Stonemouth (BBC One Scotland & BBC Two), Shetland (BBC One), River City (BBC One Scotland) Sunset Song, Katie Morag (CBeebies), Bob Servant (BBC Four), Murder (BBC Two) and landmark series Highlands (BBC One).
