New BBC drama The Way<\/a> has plenty of buzz around it, not only because of the stacked cast including Steffan Rhodri, Luke Evans, Aneurin Barnard and Georgia Tennant, but also because of the incredible creative team.<\/p>\n

The three-part series has been created by Michael Sheen, James Graham and documentarian Adam Curtis, with Sheen directing and Graham on writing duties.<\/p>\n

The series follows one family as they flee their home town when it becomes the centre-point of a civil uprising, with the drama addressing a whole host of timely social issues.<\/p>\n

But when will the series start airing on BBC One? Read on for everything you need to know about The Way.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t yet know exactly when The Way will be released but, given that first-look images were released back in September, we\u2019d certainly imagine that it will be arriving on our screens in the coming months.<\/p>\n

We will update this page as soon as we have an official release date for the series on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for the drama says that it \u201ctells the story of an ordinary family caught up in an extraordinary chain of events that ripple out from their home town\u201d.<\/p>\n

The synopsis continues: \u201cAmbitious, powerful and surprising, The Way taps into the social and political chaos of today\u2019s world by imagining a civil uprising which begins in a small industrial town.<\/p>\n

\u201cFleeing unrest, The Driscolls are forced to escape the country they\u2019ve always called home and the certainties of their old lives. Will they be overwhelmed by their memories of the past, or will they lay their ghosts to rest and take the risk of an unknown future?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Way is an emotional and darkly humorous story about what it means to be faced with impossible choices.\u201d<\/p>\n
