Casting in Place for Channel 4’s The Gathering

Filming has commenced for The Gathering, a new six-part drama from World Productions (Line of Duty, Save Me, Vigil) for Channel 4 in the U.K.

The project is written by Helen Walsh in her first original script for television. Eva Morgan and Sadie Soverall (Little Bone Lodge) will lead the cast, alongside Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point, The Lazarus Project), Warren Brown (Ten Pound Poms, The Responder) and Richard Coyle (Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Then You Run, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina).

The Gathering centers on a violent attack on a teenage girl during a rave on a tidal islet. It focuses on a group of teens from disparate backgrounds, each of whom could have committed the crime, along with their parents, who give equal cause for suspicion.

Walsh said, “I’m thrilled to have a brilliant cast on board led by such established talent. Our young actors, many of whom are newcomers, have wowed us with their raw and heartfelt depictions of teenagers having to navigate adult problems in morally ambiguous worlds.”
