The show is created by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Eastern Promises) and stars Michelle Dockery, Nicholas Pinnock, Levi Brown, David Dawson, Ben Rose, Jordan Bolger and Eve Austin. The 6-part series directed by Paul Whittington tells the story of an extended family and a group of young people who are drawn into an explosive music scene in the Midlands in the early 1980s. Knight is also executive producing the Kudos and Mercury Studios production with Karen Wilson (The Tunnel, Utopia), Katie McAleese (In the Flesh, Then You Run) and Martin Haines (Rogue Heroes), as well as Tommy Bulfin (Normal People, The Tourist) and Jo McClellan (I May Destroy You, The Last Panthers) for the BBC.
