Sean Bean, Billy Zane Set to Launch Curfew in Cannes

Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) and Billy Zane (Titanic) are set to be on hand at MIPCOM to launch the new street-race drama Curfew with Sky Vision.

Bean and Zane will be joined by Phoebe Fox (The Woman in Black 2, Angel of Death) and Malachi Kirby (Black Mirror) on Monday, October 15, to introduce the new series to the global market. The show follows the story of people competing in the world’s fastest, most furious illegal night-time street race to win freedom from a totalitarian government and the curfew they have imposed, which controls all of their lives.

Jason Simms, director of drama and comedy at Sky Vision, said: “Curfew is an absolute monster of a show and we think audiences everywhere are going to love strapping in for the ride of their lives. With eye-popping stunts and scary as hell moments, Curfew promises to be a massive blast of fun, action and emotion, and we can’t wait to get off the start line!”

Sky’s head of drama, Anne Mensah, said: “No one in the U.K. has ever made a show like Curfew before. The combination of engaging characters and fast cars is absolutely unique in the market and we are so pleased to be able to premiere the show on Sky. We are over the moon to welcome our outstanding cast to MIPCOM.”
