Bancroft star Sarah Parish and Doctor Who<\/a>\u2018s Mandip Gill are set to lead a brand new crime drama for Paramount+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair have been cast in six-part thriller Curfew, which is set in a society where men are bound by a strict curfew from 7pm to 7am every night, and tracked via ankle tags 24 hours a day as part of the \u2018Women\u2019s Safety Act\u2019.<\/p>\n

But, as a synopsis released by the streamer teases, it appears women are still not safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a woman\u2019s body is discovered, brutally murdered during curfew hours and left on the steps of the Women\u2019s Safety Centre, veteran police officer Pamela Green believes that a man is responsible.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in a world where men are bound by the curfew system, her theory is rejected,\u201d the synopsis reads.<\/p>\n

Parish plays Green, whose hunt for the truth could put the Women\u2019s Safety Act in jeopardy, and who attracts the attention of some very powerful people as a result.<\/p>\n

Gill, who played companion Yasmin Khan alongside Jodie Whittaker, joins as Sarah, an employee at the local tagging centre where the body is found.<\/p>\n

The cast is rounded out by Mayflies star Mitchell Robertson, who shadows Pamela as rookie cop Eddie, and The X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke, who joins as Helen, a \u201cwell-intentioned local school teacher and advocator for the curfew\u201d.<\/p>\n

The series was commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell, deputy chief content officer, UK, and Paul Testar for Paramount+.<\/p>\n

Testar said: \u201cCurfew is a gripping addition to our UK originals slate for Paramount+. We are excited to be collaborating with the team at Vertigo Films and a brilliant cast to bring this propulsive thriller to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Britannia\u2019s Joasia Goldyn is on directing duties, while The Haze\u2019s Lydia Yeoman is lead writer.<\/p>\n
