Harlan Coben star joins “truly remarkable” cast of new British drama

by

Annette Badland is the latest addition to the cast of a new British drama called One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days. The show is based on the popular 2020 novel of the same name by Giles Paley-Phillips and tells the story of a teenager who is getting better after having pneumonia.

Because he was sick himself, he couldn’t go see his mother who was very ill. Feeling isolated, he started building a connection with the person helping him with his physical therapy. Through dealing with his sadness, he began to see new hope and opportunities.

Rosie Day, the actress known for playing Mary Hawkins in the Starz series Outlander, will direct a new film. This marks her first time directing a feature-length movie. The screenplay is being written by Paley-Phillips, who is adapting their own story, with help from Elizabeth Morris.

James Badland, known for his role in Harlan Coben’s Run Away, will star alongside Alistair Petrie, Roman Griffin-Davis, Alice Lowe, and Paterson Joseph in a new film. Filming is scheduled to take place in Lincolnshire and Humberside later this year.

Paley-Phillips shared that adapting their book, One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days, into a film has been a very meaningful experience. They expressed excitement about working with a talented team to make the story a reality, according to Variety.

Day expressed their excitement about joining the team behind a powerful story about loss, recovery, and the strength of the human spirit. They described One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days as deeply moving and emotionally impactful.

This script is the first time I’ve ever been moved to both laughter and tears while reading it, and I’m incredibly excited to see this amazing cast perform it.

Producer Heather Greenwood announced they are starting sales for the film One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days in partnership with Content Now Studios, and highlighted the film’s talented lead actor, Roman Griffin-Davis.

I was really moved by Rosie Day’s first film – it’s a gorgeous, personal story that spans generations. What I especially loved was how much the Lincolnshire setting felt like a character itself. It really gave the film a unique feel, and it’s exciting to see a film with such a strong sense of place being shared with audiences around the world.
