The six-part drama\u200e is set during the social and political unrest of the mid-&#8217;60s in Aden, Yemen. It centers on the lives of a unit of Royal Military Police officers and their families.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Last Post<\/em> stars Jessica Raine\u200e (<em>Call the Midwife<\/em>), Jessie Buckley (<em>War and Peace<\/em>), Jeremy Neumark Jones (<em>Denial<\/em>), Amanda Drew (<em>Broadchurch<\/em>), Ben Miles (<em>Coupling<\/em>, RSC\u2019s <em>Wolf Hall<\/em>) and Stephen Campbell Moore (<em>History Boys<\/em>, <em>The Go-Between<\/em>). The series\u00a0is made by Bonafide Films and The Forge Entertainment for BBC One.<\/p>\n<p>Moffat said: \u201cYoung married couples in the heart of the Sixties\u00a0living in extremely close proximity in a very alien and dangerous environment has always struck me as ripe territory for drama. Men full of vim, vigor, and a desire to be heroes in a situation where that isn\u2019t always possible, alongside young women who are starting to feel the emancipation of the &#8217;60s and a sense of new freedoms but who are living in a constrained setting where their role is supposed to be merely supportive. My mum remembers standing on the balcony of our flat in her first week in Aden and seeing a hand grenade thrown killing a 5-year-old boy and my dad rushing out to try and do something\u2026Throw in rock-n-roll and tumultuous love stories alongside the unexplored territory of this period in our history and you have a pretty heady mix. This was my parents\u2019 world and one I have wanted to write about all my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmazon has been an incredible partner over the years as the exclusive U.S. home to<em>\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Orphan Black<\/em>,\u201d\u00a0said Jemma Harvey, the senior VP of scripted sales and co-productions at BBC Worldwide North America. \u201cWe are pleased to further build upon our relationship with Amazon, and confident that Peter Moffat\u2019s newest rarefied drama will find a captivated audience on their service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring to our customers this authentic, heroic story of a group of officers and their families in a setting consumed by political and economic unrest,\u201d added Brad Beale, the VP of worldwide TV content acquisition at Amazon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Last Post, the newest drama from Peter Moffat (The Night\u00a0Of), is set to air as an Amazon original in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":8140,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[517,2063,2064],"class_list":["post-8133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amazon","tag-peter-moffat","tag-the-last-post","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
