America Ferrera (Barbie), Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon), Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Alex Hassell (Rivals) are among the star-studded cast for a new Channel 4 thriller called Army of Shadows.
Co-produced by StudioCanal and Two Cities Television, the series is penned by BAFTA-winning Ronan Bennett (The Day of the Jackal, MobLand) and has begun filming across Manchester, Liverpool, London and Paris.
The show is inspired by Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1969 film and Joseph Kessel’s seminal book of the same name, which famously dramatized the emergence of the French Resistance to the Nazi occupation of France during World War II.
Army of Shadows imagines how a resistance would have taken shape in an occupied Great Britain. The series has been developed and produced with the support of the Melville family and the Kessel estate, controlled by the Irish Red Cross.
