First trailer of 'Dreamland' TV show starring Lily Allen and Freema Agyeman
Six-part series was shot in Margate LAST summer
Based on Sky's 2018 BAFTA-winning short of the same name, which was written by Sharon Horgan, Dreamland is a comedy drama about secrets, lies, loves and aspirations within a family of four sisters.
Set and shot (back in the summer) in the sun-drenched Kentish seaside town of Margate, and has been described as an ‘exploration of multi-generational female relationships’.
Airing on Sky Comedy and streaming service NOW TV in 2023, it stars Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who) and Lily Allen (How to Build a Girl) in her debut TV role.
THE PLOT
Eldest sister Trish (Agyeman) is pregnant for the third time with her partner Spence (Kiell Smith-Bynoe). And this time, she’s decided: it’s going to be a girl. Her two sisters Clare (Gabby Best) and Leila (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) rally around her with their mum (Frances Barber) and their Margate- legend nan (Sheila Reid), “manifesting” a little girl at Trish’s ‘mani-festival’. But when their other sister, Mel (Allen), makes an unexpected reappearance back into their lives, her return threatens to destabilise the entire family. A knock on their door and their ‘Dreamland’ is no more...
The series also features a guest star appearance from Samantha Bond as Orla.
The six-part series is produced by Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford’s production company Merman, in association with Sky Studios. From Merman, the team behind some of the most distinctive, award-winning comedies of recent years, including Motherland (BBC Two), Frayed (Sky Max) and This Way Up (Channel 4).
