Time has added two big names to its cast. Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) and Jodie Whitaker (Doctor Who) will star in the second season of the BritBox prison drama. Tamara Lawrence and Siobhan Finneran also star in the new season.
The British series follows the lives of three female inmates as they serve their time in prison. One is a single mother serving her first sentence, another is a pregnant heroin addict and repeat offender, and the third is incarcerated for life.
An anthology series, Time was created by Jimmy McGovern and debuted on BBC One in 2021. The first season stars Sean Bean and Stephen Graham as a prisoner consumed with guilt and a prison guard.
BritBox revealed the following about the series’ return:
Starring Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us), Jodie Whitaker (Doctor Who), Tamara Lawrence (No Offense), and Siobhan Finneran (Downton Abbey), the new season of Time is told through the lens of three very different inmates from three very different backgrounds.
Arriving at Carlingford Prison on the same day, Orla (Whittaker), Abi (Lawrence), and Kelsey (Ramsey) are thrown together to face an unfamiliar world. But even with the ever-present threat of violence within its walls, they discover that an unexpected sense of community, and a shared understanding, still might be possible.
Jimmy McGovern, co-creator of FOX’s Accused, returns as writer and executive producer with Helen Black (Grantchester) joining as co-writer. The original BAFTA award-winning Time with Sean Bean and Stephen Graham is currently available on BritBox.
Whitaker said the following about joining the series:
“I think what Time series one did, [and] hopefully what this series is doing, is giving a face to the statistics or the problems. You can say there’s a wrong or a right, there’s a baddie and a goodie, or there’s a situation where there’s a bad decision and a good decision, but we all live in a grey area.”
The trailer for Time is below. The series arrives on the BritBox streaming service on March 27th.
