Paramount+ has dropped first look photos of Vicky McClure and cast for new UK original drama series Insomnia – with McClure finding her character on the edge.
The new six-part series is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by bestselling author Sarah Pinborough, and follows a career woman who finds her perfect life falling apart.
The official synopsis reads: “Successful career woman Emma Averill fears she might be losing her mind when her hard-won dream life starts to turn into a nightmare.
“A couple of weeks before her fortieth birthday, Emma stops sleeping — just as her mother had done right before she suffered a violent psychotic breakdown on the night of her own fortieth birthday.
“Emma’s mother always told her she’d go the same way, that she had the same “bad blood” and now Emma’s terrified it’s true.”
“As events worsen, Emma’s world starts to unravel and she realises that only by investigating the truth of her painful past, can she find the answers to her present and prevent tragedy from striking a second time.”
Leanne Best, Tom Cullen, Lyndsey Marshal, Dominic Tighe, Jade Harrison, Corinna Marlowe, Robert Gilbert, Michelle Bonnard, India Fowler and Smylie Bradwell also star.
Insomnia will debut exclusively on Paramount+ in the UK on 23rd May.
