BBC One\u2019s latest adaptation of The Famous Five<\/a> is a family-friendly treat of a watch for all.<\/p>\n

The Curse of Kirrin Island premiered back in December and now, further episodes based on Enid Blyton\u2019s\u00a0Famous Five novels<\/a> are set to be released, which will see our group of young explorers take on some more adventures and enemies.<\/p>\n

The books have been adapted and executive produced by Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn<\/a>, who has revealed that finding the main cast was \u201ca puzzle\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Deadline<\/a>, Refn said: \u201cIt all had to match. You find something you fall in love with but then that doesn\u2019t equate with something else, and then you have to redesign the entire thing. It can be a tedious process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lead role of George is played by Diaana Babnicova (Don\u2019t Breathe 2<\/a>) but she is joined by a cast of rising young talent as well as more familiar faces to TV fans like Jack Gleeson, who is widely recognised for portraying Joffrey Baratheon in HBO\u2019s Game of Thrones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that, read on for everything you need to know about the cast of BBC\u2019s The Famous Five.<\/p>\n
