Back in 2019, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley circled back around to Generation Z. The show started airing on Channel 4 last October… and now, it has been confirmed that it will not get a second season.

Four years ago, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making his latest film Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley has circled back around to Generation Z and is now knee-deep into filming it! To celebrate the fact that Generation Z is finally being made, Channel 4 has unveiled a batch of first look images, and you can check those out at the bottom of this article.

Peter Moffat is forging a TV adaptation of UK journalist Jonathan Freedland’s The Escape Artist with Mood production outfit Bonafide Films.

The Your Honor and Criminal Justice BAFTA winner is onboard to write the show telling the astonishing, true-life story of how Rudolf Vrba, a 19-year-old Slovakian Jew, along with fellow inmate Fred Wetzler, escaped from Auschwitz to warn the world about the Holocaust. The pair’s report led to the saving of 200,000 Budapest Jews from immediate deportation to Auschwitz. The project is not yet attached to a network and Bonafide has secured rights for TV.

Freedland is a highly-regarded British journalist who mainly writes on politics and international affairs for The Guardian but has also penned numerous works of fiction, some of which are under the pseudonym Sam Bourne.

Margery Bone’s London-based Bonafide has previously worked with Moffat on BBC drama The Last Post, which starred Jessie Buckley...

BBC Studios has struck an investment and distribution deal with Bonafide Films, the producer of buzzy BBC breakout drama Mood and Peter Moffatt’s The Last Post.

The deal will see BBC Studios invest in the London-based producer’s development slate and take first look on projects for distribution. Bonafide previously had a first–look deal with Lionsgate, which was inked more than six years ago.

Bonafide, which is run by Margery Bone, is currently working on projects with the likes of Rocks’ Sarah Gavron, Wolf Hall’s Peter Straughan and Killling Eve writer / director Miranda Bowen, along with a string of new talent.

Bonafide and BBC Studios already partnered on Nicôle Lecky’s Mood and the producer-distributor brokered the co-production deal with BBC America in the U.S. while selling the show to 12 territories. The BAFTA and Rts-winning BBC Three musical drama was based on Lecky’s play...

As part of the agreement, BBC Studios will invest in Bonafide’s development slate, and will also have first look agreement on distribution rights for all projects.

“Mood,” Nicôle Lecky’s BAFTA and Rts-winning TV adaptation of her acclaimed play, “Superhoe” was a co-commission from BBC and AMC and BBC Studios brokered the co-production deal for Bonafide with AMC and also secured sales to 12 territories internationally. “The Last Post” is by screenwriter Peter Moffatt (“Your Honor”).

In addition to their relationship with Moffatt and Lecky, Bonafide is currently developing projects with Peter Straughan (“Wolf Hall”), Sarah Gavron (“Rocks”), Veronica Gleeson (“Below”), Miranda Bowen (“Killing Eve”), Pete Jackson (“Somewhere Boy”) and Meadhbh McHugh (“Conversations with Friends”).

Nicôle Lecky, the creator of BBC Three and BBC America drama Mood, believes the TV adaptation of her award-winning play will satisfy America’s desire to “see a different side of Britishness.”

Featuring an original soundtrack performed by Lecky, Mood, from The Last Post producer Bonafide, starts tomorrow night on the newly-relaunched BBC Three linear channel and follows Sasha, played by Lecky, an aspiring musician who spends her days smoking weed and stalking her ex-boyfriend.

Speaking exclusively to Deadline as distributor BBC Studios shops the show at this week’s Showcase, Lecky said “Americans want to see a different side of Britishness,” with Mood set to air on BBC America later this year.

“They’ve seen a lot of Brits sipping tea and gang shows but not much like this, about a normal girl in a pocket of London who goes on a huge journey,” she added.

Set in the very near future where scientists have discovered a method of matching people with their perfect romantic fit using DNA, eight-part Netflix Original The One is technically a sci-fi drama. Really though, it’s a crime thriller revolving around the murky circumstances in which the cash cow company behind the matching service was created. Written by Misfits and Crazyhead creator Howard Overman, The One is based on the 2017 novel of the same name by John Marrs. It’s a cat-and-mouse game between wealthy, driven CEO Rebecca (Hannah Ware) and police detective Kate (Zoë Tapper).

For the first six months of 2020, every new day brought a new episode of “The Last Post.” Even on weekends, host Alice Fraser was there to provide the headlines from a slightly off-kilter dimension where the Democratic primaries took place — but were marked by the upstart candidacy of a floating mass of sentient trash. In “The Last Post” universe, The Wiggles aren’t just children’s TV royalty, they’re the unwitting new heads of state of a European nation.

As the show’s writer, Fraser has the consistent, daunting task of navigating the world of this tumultuous year through the lens of one that only exists in part. Challenging as that might be, it’s been helpful for her to process the unpredictable headlines of each passing day.

“Not being able to address a large project, feeling really defeated by the prospect of doing anything big, having these quick deadlines,...

The BBC has commissioned a slate of four dramas from first-time TV writers, including a police series starring The Hobbit and Sherlock actor Martin Freeman as a night shift officer in the British city of Liverpool.

The Responder is written by Tony Schumacher, a former police officer who is fulfilling a lifelong ambition to write for the screen. He has been mentored by Accused scribe Jimmy McGovern and been part of the BBC Writers Room emerging writers initiative.

His six-part BBC Two series features Freeman as cop Chris, who works night shifts with his new rookie partner, Rachel. Each episode centers on a different shift, and the series is described as “wildly funny and painfully tragic.” Chris is dealing with a marriage that is breaking down while policing Liverpool’s criminal underbelly, and the show deals with the realities of policing in Britain and the complexities of Freeman’s character.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended the first of a series of important remembrance events on Thursday when they paid a visit to the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. Organized by The Poppy Factor, the Field of Remembrance has been held in the grounds of the Abbey since November 1928 and features hundreds of wooden crosses decorated with paper poppies, which pay tribute to those who lost their lives serving in the armed forces. During their visit, the royal couple both laid their own crosses in a larger arrangement. Harry, in full uniform, gave a salute, while Meghan lowered her head out of respect, before they listened to "The Last Post," the famous bugle call played at Commonwealth military funerals and remembrance events.

Harry and Meghan were supposed to be joined by the Duchess of Cornwall for this event, one of a number of royal engagements over the coming days...

Balancing times of peace and periods of conflict is a challenge that almost all military stories face. As soldiers weigh their duty to their work and to their families, the uniform can become an all-encompassing force and few dramatized stories can exist outside its long shadow. Just this year alone, series like “The Long Road Home” and “Six” have struggled to make their characters exist as something more than stand-ins for ideas and fulfillers of narrative obligation.

But “The Last Post,” the latest co-venture between the BBC and Amazon, finds a special balance by reaching decades into the past. Charting the respective experiences of a Royal Military Police unit stationed in Aden, Yemen and the twin drama of their personal family lives, “The Last Post” considers the nature of escalation and retaliation, both within and outside the base’s walls. Drawn in part from writer Peter Moffat’s family experiences at a similar outpost,...
