Honor Swinton Byrne and Rory Fleck-Byrne have been tapped to lead the cast of “Do Mosquitos Bite in Winter?,” the latest short film from the U.K.’s National Film & Television School.

The family drama, which explores separation through the eyes of a nine-year-old protagonist named Ruby, also stars rising talent Lily-Beau Leach, whose performance in “Hoard” caught director Anne-Sofie Lindgaard’s attention long before casting began.

Written and directed by Lindgaard, the project delves into “the fragility of a family through a child’s imagination and sense of the world.”

“Casting with Simon [Higgins] was crucial to the film; our collaboration was key in establishing the right dynamic of the small family at the heart of the story, allowing me to work with a cast I could really explore with in an authentic, meaningful way,” Lindgaard said.

“We were fortunate to cast Lily-Beau Leach as our young lead, whose performance in...

You’ll quickly ID one prime suspect in this drama about a veteran detective, Danny Frater (James Nesbitt), investigating the possible murder of his estranged daughter, Christina (Imogen King), and retracing her last days and hours in hopes of discovering the truth. Outlander’s Sam Heughan appears in the fifth of Suspect‘s eight taut 30-minute episodes, each on a potential perp. “Ryan’s got pent-up aggression — he’s quite unstable,” Heughan says of Danny’s corrupt ex-partner and Christina’s godfather. The men meet up in an Mma gym, where Heughan leaned on some old skills: “I did Muay Thai training in Thailand years ago. I enjoyed that breathlessness because Ryan is on the edge.” The British adaptation of Christoffer Boe’s Danish crime thriller Forhøret also stars Joely Richardson, Richard E. Grant, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Miller, Sacha Dhawan, Niamh Algar, and Antonia Thomas. Watch a trailer for the series below:  Suspect,...

Victoria star Leo Suter, Outlander’s Stuart Harris and Darkest Hour’s Imogen King have joined the cast of the second season of Clique after U.S. network Pop boarded the show.

As Deadline revealed earlier this year, the show was handed a second season by BBC Three and Pop. Filming has now begun on the drama, created by Skins’ Jess Brittain, in Edinburgh, with a number of new faces joining the cast.

While the first season, which saw Holly, played by Synnove Karlsen, drawn to a group of alluring, confident but troubled young women, the second will see her encounter a radically different clique, this time a band of brothers.

Suter, who also starred in Jack Whitehall’s Bad Education, will be joined by The Hollow Crown’s Barney Harris, Outlander’s Stuart Campbell alongside King, Mary, Queen of Scots’ Izuka Hoyle and newcomers Jyuddah Jaymes and Nicholas Nunn.
