WRONG MOVE: CASTING ANNOUNCED FOR NEW CHANNEL 4 DRAMA AS FILMING BEGINS

Channel 4 and Roughcut Television(Little Disasters, Coma, Big Boys) announce the cast forWrong Move, the brand-new 6x60’ darkly comic thriller written and created by Ben Edwards (Coma, Miss Scarlet & The Duke), with filming currently underway in West Yorkshire.

Leading the cast is David Thewlis (Fargo, The Artful Dodger) Trevor, a dangerous sociopath whose vengeful tendencies drive him to terrorise the group of homebuyers at the heart of unfolding events.

Trevor's last-minute decision to pull out of a house sale sends shockwaves through the entire property chain but it is his manipulative nature that really unsettles those around him. David Bradley (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) features in the series as Arthur, Trevor’s father.

Rory Kinnear (Bank of Dave, The Diplomat) stars as Michael, whose patience is tested as the chain begins to crumble. Eve Myles (Gone, The Guest) plays Catherine, Michael’s wife, desperately hoping that a move into their dream “forever home” will save their marriage.

Austin Haynes (Adolescence, Unforgivable) joins the cast as the couple’s son Jack, whose involvement in the ongoing crisis proves more consequential than anyone expects. Daisy Morgan (Giant, The Power) plays Jack’s sister Molly.

Eleanor Tomlinson (One Day, Poldark) plays Stella, who, alongside her partner Juliette (Gwyneth Keyworth, Death Valley, Lost Boys & Fairies), is preparing for the arrival of their first child while trying to navigate the chaos unleashed by Trevor’s decision.

At the other end of the property ladder, Ali Khan (Everyone Else Burns, Haunting in Venice) plays Asif, a first‑time buyer whose hopes of a fresh start with partner Emily (Evie Kaisi) are thrown into disarray. Ray Fearon (Champion, Tinsel Town) also joins the cast as Emily’s father Danny.

The series also features Paul Bazely (Such Brave Girls, Amadeus) as DS Berry and Laura Elsworthy (Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Plebs) as DC Jenkins as well as Alex MacQueen (The Thick of It, Seven Dials) who plays eager estate agent Alistair.

Packed with twists and turns, Wrong Move delves into the complicated lives of the people trying to take the next steps up the property ladder, and the misguided notion that moving house can fix everything. The truth is you can move, but your problems come with you.

Wrong Move is a Roughcut Television production for Channel 4.
