Universal International Studios Boards BBC Thriller ‘The Dream Lands’


Universal International Studios has boarded 'The Dream Lands' from the BBC, Sister and Kayleigh Llewellyn about Margate and climate change.

Penned by BAFTA-winner Kayleigh Llewellyn and based on Rosa Rankin-Gee’s novel, The Dream Lands tells the story of Chance, a young woman who discovers life and love while being forced to fight for her family’s survival in a world that’s crumbling around her in 2039 due to climate change. Kelsey Balance, the recently-promoted EVP of Global Scripted Series at UIS, said: “ The Dream Lands is a captivating exploration of the human spirit brought to life by Kayleigh Llewellyn’s unique vision. News of UIS boarding has come soon after Sister boss Jane Featherstone said the BBC has “multiple shows through which no fault of its own it can’t fund,” which has rocked the UK drama sector.
