Channel 4 and Roughcut Television today announce the cast for Wrong Move, the brand-new 6x60’ darkly comic thriller written and created by Ben Edwards, with filming currently underway in West Yorkshire.
Leading the cast is David Thewlis who plays Trevor, a dangerous sociopath whose vengeful tendencies drive him to terrorise the group of homebuyers. 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 features in the series as Arthur, Trevor’s father.
Rory Kinnear stars as Michael, whose patience is tested as the chain begins to crumble. Eve Myles plays Catherine, Michael’s wife, desperately hoping that a move into their dream “forever home” will save their marriage. Austin Haynes joins the cast as the couple’s son Jack, whose involvement in the ongoing crisis proves more consequential than anyone expects. Daisy Morgan plays Jack’s sister Molly.
Eleanor Tomlinson plays Stella, who, alongside her partner Juliette, 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 plays Asif, a first‑time buyer whose hopes of a fresh start with partner Emily (Evie Kaisi) are thrown into disarray.
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.
