Joanna Scanlan, Tamsin Greig to Lead Sally Wainwright’s New Punk-Rock Drama ‘Riot Women’
Joanna Scanlan, Tamsin Greig have been confirmed to star in Sally Wainwright's new BBC punk-rock drama 'Riot Women.'
“As they juggle demanding jobs, grown-up children, complicated parents, husbands who’ve buggered off, and disastrous dates and relationships, the band becomes a catalyst for change in their lives, and it’s going to make them question everything,” reads the synopsis. “As the story progresses, it’s more than music that binds them; a deeply potent, long-buried secret begins to surface – one that unexpectedly entangles Kitty and Beth, the two unlikely creative masterminds behind the band, in a complex triangle – and threatens to tear everything apart.” Rounding oout the cast are Anne Reid (“The Sixth Commandment”), Sue Johnston (“The Royle Family”), Peter Davison (“Doctor Who”), Claire Skinner (“Outnumbered”), Angel Coulby (“Merlin”), Taj Atwal (“Line of Duty”), Chandeep Uppal (“Holby City”), Jonny Green (“White Lines”), Ellise Chappell (“Yesterday”), Macy Jacob Seelochan (“Shadow and Bone”), Tony Hirst (“Hollyoaks”), Shannon Lavelle (“Hamlin”), Amit Shah (“Happy Valley”), Rick Warden (“Red Eye”), Ben Batt (“Domina”), Natalia Tena (“Harry Potter”), Melanie La Barrie (“& Juliet”), Oliver Huntingdon (“Sherwood”), Richard Fleeshman (“The Sandman”), Olwen May (“A Very British Scandal”), Kevin Doyle (“Downton Abbey”) and Nicholas Gleaves (“Bodyguard”).
