The eight-part series will land on BBC3 and iPlayer later this year, featuring a cast led by Ellis Howard ( Catherine the Great) who plays Byron, a working-class school kid who escapes a small town for Nottingham and discovers more than just the hedonistic world of the noughties clubbing scene. Further cast includes Emma Shipp ( Rivals), Sekou Diaby ( Boarders), Laura Checkley ( Screw), Oliver Huntingdon ( Sherwood), Lorn Macdonald ( Bridgerton), and Rhys Connah ( Happy Valley). Made by Mary & George producer Hera Pictures in association with ITV Studios, the series was written by Lees alongside Georgia Christou, Paul Williams, Sarah Simmonds, and Mika Onyx Johnson.
