Paramount+ mystery thriller Curfew has made a new wave of casting announcements – including four iconic Eastenders stars.

Lucy Benjamin (who played Lisa Fowler on the soap), Anita Dobson (Angie Watts), Larry Lamb (Archie Mitchell) and Bobby Brazier (Freddie Slater) will be joining Curfew in key roles.

They will be joining Alexandra Burke and Sarah Parish in the twisted tale of a dystopian future.

In the six-part series, which is an adaptation of Jayne Cowie’s Novel After Dark, Curfew is based in a society governed by ‘The Women’s Safety Act’ where men are tracked by ankle tag and confined to their homes by a strict curfew from 7pm every night.

When a woman’s body is discovered brutally murdered during curfew hours, veteran Police officer Pamela Green (Parish) believes a man must be responsible.

But in a world where men are bound by the curfew system, if Pamela proves a man committed this murder she could bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down.

As a result, powerful forces are determined to make the curfew a success and will do whatever it takes to silence Pamela in her relentless pursuit of the truth.

Lucy Benjamin will play DCI Sue Ferguson, overseeing Pamela’s investigation. Larry Lamb is Rhys Holden, whose family arrives in the UK from America and has to learn to adjust to life under the restrictive curfew system.

Bobby Brazier will portray James, a vocal schoolboy advocating for the abolishment of the curfew, whilst Anita Dobson will star as Janet, who runs a ‘motherhouse’, a refuge-style home for women that don’t want to cohabit with men.

Also joining the ensemble cast for is Tommy McDonnell (Alice & Jack), Adam Korson (This Is Us), Amy Louise Pemberton (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Imogen Sandhu (Casualty), James Craven (Coronation Street), Selorm Adonu (Man to Man) and newcomer Raphael D’Alterio.

Filming is currently underway.

Curfew is yet to be given a release date and will be available exclusively on Paramount+.
