Based on Sky’s 2018 BAFTA-winning short of the same name, which was written by SHARON HORGAN and produced by MERMAN, DREAMLAND is a comedy-drama about secrets, lies, loves and aspirations within a family of four sisters. Set in the sun-drenched British seaside town of Margate, it is a dark comedic exploration of multi-generational female relationships, and their (somewhat dysfunctional) family dynamics.
Eldest sister Trish (AGYEMAN) is pregnant for the third time with her partner Spence (KIELL SMITH-BYNOE). And this time, she’s decided: it’s going to be a girl. Her two sisters Clare (GABBY BEST) and Leila (AIMEE-FFION EDWARDS) rally around her with their mum (FRANCES BARBER) and their Margate-legend nan (SHEILA REID), “manifesting” a little girl at Trish’s ‘mani-festival’., But when their other sister, Mel (ALLEN), makes an unexpected reappearance back into their lives, her return threatens to destabilise the entire family. A knock on their door and their ‘Dreamland’ is no more…
The series also features a guest star appearance from Samantha Bond as Orla.
