BritBox announced today additional cast for Season 3 of Time, the gripping prison drama whose upcoming season will be led by David Tennant and Siobhan Finneran.
Production is beginning in Belfast on Season 3 of Time, the BAFTA-winning hit prison drama from Jimmy McGovern (Cracker, The Street, Moving On). Starring in the three-part drama are David Tennant (Rivals, Broadchurch) as Prison Officer Bailey and Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey), who reprises her role as prison chaplain Marie-Louise.
Joining them are Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point, The Lazarus Project) as Erica, Jo Joyner (Little Disasters, Stay Close) as Nicola, Daniel Ryan (Such Brave Girls, The Bay) as Custodial Manager Jennings, Warren Brown (Ten Pound Poms, The Responder) as Albie, Louis McCartney (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Hope Street) as James, Ollie McNulty and Chukwubuikem Molokwu making their screen debuts as Peter and Christopher, and Ethaniel Davy (Chicken Town, Hollyoaks) as Jayden.
Additional cast members include Victor Zhao, Paul Smith Junior, Finn Kearns, and Jack Barnes, who also make their screen debuts as Jietang, Toby, Mark, and Chaz, respectively.
The anthology series’ third season is set within a Young Offenders Institution (YOI), exploring the impact of locking up teenagers and the effects on those who look after them.
Having lost her faith, prison chaplain Marie-Louise comes to the YOI. When tragedy strikes within the prison, she clashes with veteran officer Bailey, a man in the midst of his own crisis. Bailey knows more about the circumstances that led to this major incident, but will he come clean before the guilt gets to be too much?
Meanwhile, young offenders Peter and James struggle through the terrifying first weeks and months of their incarceration. Can James ever face his broken parents after an unforgivable act of violence? And will Peter tell the truth about the death of an innocent man, or does family loyalty mean more? An unlikely friendship between the two teens looks to shift the trajectory of their futures.
