Letitia Wright (Black Panther<\/em>, Top Boy<\/em>) has joined the cast of Dominic Savage\u2019s female-led drama anthology series I Am<\/em> for Channel 4.<\/p>\n

Wright, an Emmy nominee and BAFTA Rising Star Award winner, is starring in I Am Danielle<\/em> and is joined by co-stars CJ Beckford and Sophia Brown. Each episode of the three-part series will be developed and written by Savage in collaboration with the leading actor.<\/p>\n

I Am<\/em> is produced by Me+You Productions, commissioned by Channel 4, co-funded by Sky Studios and distributed by NBCUniversal Global Distribution.<\/p>\n

Wright said: \u201cCollaborating with Dominic Savage has been an amazing experience. His unique and sensitive style of directing has stretched me as an artist. I\u2019m so proud that we came together on a story that we both felt was important to explore and share with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Savage said: “Making this film with Letitia was so exciting, invigorating, and full of creative joy. It is exactly how I love to work. In complete partnership and understanding. We were so in tune with the story we were telling, and each day was purely instinctive, challenging, and always truthful. I\u2019m proud to be able to bring this story of love with all it\u2019s difficulties to the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caroline Hollick, head of drama at Channel 4, said: \u201cBringing superstar Letitia Wright back to Channel 4 has been a dream since I started this job. Her fearless collaboration with Dominic Savage in I Am Danielle<\/em> reveals her as a emotional and masterful storyteller, as well as a superlative performer.\u201d<\/p>\n
