The BBC has just dropped the gripping trailer and first-look images for their new drama, Reunion. This four-part series, uniquely presented in both spoken English and British Sign Language (BSL), delves into the life of a deaf man on a quest to uncover the truth about the events that led to his incarceration ten years earlier.
The official synopsis states: "Brennan embodies the struggle of a man caught between two worlds, unable to fully integrate into the hearing world and shunned by his closest friends and the wider deaf community following his heinous crime.
"Amidst this isolation, Brennan's only meaningful relationship is with his estranged daughter Carly (Peake), who he has not had any contact with since his arrest over a decade ago."
Starring Matthew Gurney and featuring former EastEnders actress and 2021 Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis, as well as Bad Sisters' Anne-Marie Duff, the series boasts an impressive cast.
Penned by William Mager, a deaf writer hailing from Sheffield, Reunion is being hailed as "an emotional thriller of revenge and redemption".
When is Reunion available to watch?
You can binge all four episodes of Reunion on BBC iPlayer starting at 6 am on Monday 7 April, with the series also hitting the screens on BBC One on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9 pm from that evening, reports the Express.
Who stars in Reunion?
Reunion cast by Mathew Gurney as Daniel Brennan, alongside Anne-Marie Duff who portrays Christine, Eddie Marsan in the role of Stephen Renworth, Christine's vigilant boyfriend, and Rose Ayling-Ellis as Miri, Christine's daughter.
While further details on the cast remain under wraps for now, anticipation builds with more information anticipated as the premiere date approaches.
Commenting on the newly released snapshots, main actor Matthew Gurney expressed excitement: "Reunion is an amazing storyline and is completely different from my previous work."
Gurney delved deeper into his character's narrative, stating, "My character Brennan is on a wildly different journey than that portrayed by normal deaf lives, this portrays a man who is hated within the deaf community."
Concluding his remarks, he noted: "It shows how deaf people react and act on screen in an honest and authentic way. We are different to hearing actors, we are so much more visual storytellers, it's not about relying on sound it's about using your eyes and seeing what is going on in the story."
