The upcoming BBC drama titled “California Avenue” has unveiled an illustrious ensemble of actors, with “Adolescence” and “The Crown” actress Erin Doherty spearheading the cast.
The upcoming six-episode series, praised for its sparkle, humor, and abundance of love, is scheduled to take place in the 1970s. The narrative unfolds within a tranquil, canal-adjacent caravan park nestled in the heart of the English countryside.
In the upcoming role, Doherty (previously seen in the BBC series “Chloe”) takes on the character of Lela. Accompanied by her 11-year-old child, she seeks refuge in a park while on the run. The narrative then unfolds with the promise that this setting will bring a troubled family back together, lay ghosts and demons to rest, and spark an unforeseen love connection.
Additionally, it was revealed that Bill Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter, famous for their work in film and television, will be playing Lela’s parents Jerry and Eddie at California Avenue. Tom Burke, known for his role in BBC’s Strike, has also been cast as the charismatic outsider character, Cooper.
California Avenue marks the newest project from Hugo Blick, a BAFTA-winning screenwriter and director who has previously worked on shows like The English and The Honourable Woman. This upcoming series will be brought to you by Drama Republic, the creative minds behind popular productions such as Netflix sensation One Day and BBC drama starring Suranne Jones, Doctor Foster.
As reported by the BBC, filming for the upcoming series titled “California Avenue” is scheduled to occur in Hertfordshire and its surrounding areas, with production commencing this summer. More details about the cast will be shared at a later time, and viewers can look forward to watching “California Avenue” on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
The Director of BBC Drama, Lindsay Salt, expressed: “Hugo Blick has produced some exceptional television over the last three decades, and it’s a privilege to collaborate with him, Bill, Helena, Erin, Tom, and Drama Republic. We’re excited to embark on an unforgettable voyage through 1970s California Avenue with BBC viewers.
California Avenue will be coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
