Overview
- The series, which ITV unveiled Monday, casts Penelope Wilton as Mavis Eccleston with Jonathan Pryce as her husband Dennis.
- It draws on the couple’s joint-suicide pact and Mavis’s 2019 acquittal on a murder charge, with Eccleston and her family backing the dramatization.
- Unforgotten creator Chris Lang writes the four-part series and Bruce Goodison directs, with Corestar Media and Indefinite Films producing.
- Calculus Media is providing production financing and High Road Entertainment will handle international sales and distribution.
- Filming is scheduled to start in Bristol later this year as ITV positions the drama alongside recent campaigning titles tied to the assisted-dying discussion.
