Get ready for your next BBC drama obsession, as Champion<\/a> lands on our screens this Saturday (1st July).<\/p>\n

The new eight-part drama<\/a> marks the first TV project from bestselling author Candice Carty-Williams and follows siblings Vita and Bosco Champion as they face a brand new rivalry with one another that spans their professional and personal lives.<\/p>\n

The synopsis for the series reads: \u201cRap sensation Bosco Champion is home from prison, and ready to dominate the music industry once more.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when his dutiful younger sister Vita\u2019s own talent is discovered by Bosco\u2019s rival, she steps out of her brother\u2019s shadow to become a performer in her own right, setting the Champion siblings against one another and tearing apart the whole family in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leading the cast as the siblings are D\u00e9ja J Bowens and Malcolm Kamulete as Vita and Bosco respectively, but the cast of Champion is home to some very familiar faces, as well as rising acting talent.<\/p>\n
