New images have been released from Nicôle Lecky's new BBC One drama about mother and daughter relationships.
BBC One has released a number of first look images from Nicôle Lecky's upcoming drama Wild Cherry, which is led by Eve Best, Imogen Faires and newcomer Amelia May.
Carmen Ejogo plays Lorna, a self-made, successful black businesswoman from South London who has worked hard to be where she is and best friend Juliet, played by Eve Best, a woman born into the privileged gated community they both call home.
Daughters Grace and Allegra, played by Imogen Faires and Allegra are BFFs and live a life other teenagers can only dream of. A safe haven for the super-rich and their little darlings, Richford Estate is a place where bad things never happen.
Until, that is, Grace and Allegra are implicated in a shocking scandal at their exclusive private school and Juliet and Lorna are forced to take sides, pushing their friendship to breaking point.
As toxic secrets and lies ripple through the idyllic town, cracks within the community threaten to reveal the elitist ugliness and betrayal beneath.
Set in a private enclave in the Home Counties, the six-part drama promises to be a provocative and deliciously honest look at mother/daughter relationships in a haze of social media, hidden apps and peer pressure that asks: how far will we go to protect our children? And just how much do teenage girls know about the women raising them?
If the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, then who is leading these girls astray?
The new six-part drama, will also star Sophie Winkleman and Nicôle Lecky who also serves as an executive producer. The ensemble cast is comprised of Daniel Lapaine, Hayat Kamille, Isabelle Allen, James Murray, Jason York, Katrina Cas, Nathaniel Martello-White, Sonita Henry, Tara Webb, Will Bagnall and Hugh Quarshie.
“Like mother like daughter” rings loudly in a complex world, and danger is never far from the surface, even in a perfect town.
Produced by Firebird Pictures, Wild Cherry is written and created by Nicôle Lecky, directed by Toby MacDonald, produced by Ado Yoshizaki Cassuto and executive produced by Elizabeth Kilgarriff and Craig Holleworth for Firebird Pictures, Lisa Walters, Nicôle Lecky, Toby Macdonald and Lucy Richer for the BBC.
