Overview
- Netflix UK confirmed on Thursday that Harry Lawtey, Arsema Thomas, Gemma Whelan, Sophie Willan and Timothy Spall have joined Damson Idris in the six-episode series The Lords' Day.
- Idris plays British spy Harry Jones and serves as an executive producer on the Bad Wolf production, which began shooting in the UK in spring 2026 and is expected to finish in early Q3 2026.
- Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley are lead writers and executive producers, Ben Chanan is directing and also credited as an executive producer, and Bad Wolf executives Jane Tranter, Dan McCulloch and Joel Collins are attached.
- Netflix and outlets describe the adaptation as more action-heavy than the book, centering on a lone-wolf protagonist during a hostage siege at the State Opening of Parliament while avoiding plot spoilers.
- The project draws on Michael Dobbs' House of Cards pedigree and Bad Wolf's high-profile TV record, and no release date has been announced so readers should expect further updates as filming wraps.
