Anita Dobson has joined the cast of Paramount Plus<\/a> thriller Curfew alongside fellow EastEnders<\/a> alumni Larry Lamb, Lucy Benjamin and Bobby Brazier.<\/p>\n

The previously announced<\/a> series is based on Jayne Cowie\u2019s novel After Dark, imagining a world in which an act of Parliament is passed which requires all men to wear ankle tags and adhere to a strict 7pm curfew.<\/p>\n

Against this tense backdrop, police officer Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) investigates the murder of a woman during curfew hours, with her findings potentially having major consequences for society at large.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Robertson (Mayflies), Mandip Gill (Doctor Who<\/a>) and Alexandra Burke (Pretty Red Dress) were previously announced to be co-starring in Curfew opposite Parish.<\/p>

Dobson joins the project in the role of Janet, who runs a refuge for women who don\u2019t wish to cohabit with men, while Benjamin plays DCI Sue Ferguson, who is overseeing Pamela\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n

Bobby Brazier plays schoolboy activist James, who is seeking the abolishment of the male curfew, while Lamb is Rhys Holden, whose family moves from the USA to the UK and struggles to adapt to the new rules imposed upon them.<\/p>\n

Curfew is shaping up to be Gill\u2019s biggest television project since departing the role of Yaz on Doctor Who, while Dobson currently stars on the BBC\u2019s premier sci-fi drama as the mysterious Mrs Flood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Filming is underway on the six-part thriller, with director Joasia Goldyn (Britannia) at the helm, working on scripts penned by relative newcomer Lydia Yeoman.<\/p>\n

Curfew will be available to stream exclusively on Paramount Plus in the UK, with international broadcasters still to be confirmed. No release date has been set at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Curfew is coming soon to Paramount Plus. <\/strong><\/p>\n
