Adapted from the Norwegian drama series <em>Valkyrien<\/em>, <em>Temple<\/em> will be produced by Hera Pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Below the streets of London, an illegal clinic has been set up in an abandoned subterranean network of tunnels. Strong will play Daniel, a surgeon driven by personal tragedy to treat anyone who is willing to pay for medical help outside the system. Joining Strong in the cast are Carice van Houten (<em>Game of Thrones<\/em>) and Daniel Mays (<em>Line of Duty<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Strong said: \u201cMark O\u2019Rowe has created a complex and multi-faceted character in Daniel\u2014a man pushed to the extreme as his world is radically destabilized. <em>Temple<\/em> is a gripping and humane morality tale for our time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Liza Marshall, head of Hera Pictures, said: \u201cAfter the success of <em>Riviera<\/em>, I am thrilled to be working with Sky again on my first production for Hera. I think the audience will love the world of <em>Temple<\/em> and it\u2019s darkly funny take on life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Silver, executive producer for Sky, said: \u201cWhen Hera Pictures delivered the scripts for <em>Temple<\/em>, we at Sky fell in love with its blackly comic streak and the morally compromised characters working in their own secret realm beneath London. I\u2019ve been an ardent fan of Mark O\u2019Rowe\u2019s work, from his adaptation of <em>Boy A<\/em> to <em>Intermission<\/em>, and having Mark, Carice and Daniel cast, I know that the audience will be treated to an unflinching, hilarious and very human story.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Strong (Kingsman) headlines the cast of the new darkly comic thriller Temple, an eight-part Sky original production set in a secret world beneath London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1849,1761,1032,2684,1466],"class_list":["post-9886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hera-pictures","tag-mark-strong","tag-sky","tag-temple","tag-valkyrien","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
