K.J. Yossman “Bad Sisters” star Anne-Marie Duff will co-star alongside Matthew Gurney in upcoming BBC drama “Reunion.” Written by Sheffield-born deaf writer William Mager, “Reunion” sees Gurney (“Name Me Lawand”) play Daniel Brennan, a deaf man who finds himself in prison following a terrible crime.

Duff stars as Christine, a woman who is desperate to fine Brennan and uncover the truth. Also starring are Lara Peake (“How to Have Sex”) as Brennan’s daughter Carly as well as Eddie Marsan (“Back to Black”), who plays Christine’s protective boyfriend Stephen and Rose Ayling- Ellis (“Summer of Rockets”) appears as Christine’s daughter Miri.

Luke Snellin (“One Day”) directs the four-part series for Warp Films, which has already started shooting in Sheffield. “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,” reads the logline. “Amidst this isolation, Brennan’s only meaningful relationship is with his estranged daughter Carly, who he has not had any contact with since his arrest over a decade ago.” The cast is rounded out by Stephen Collins (“Dune: Part One”) as Sean, Ace Mahbaz (“Small World”) as Ray Mokhtar, Sophie Stone (“The Chelsea Detective”) as Naomi Brennan, Olive Gray (“Halo”) as Anna Shenford, Joe Sims (“Broadchurch”) as Joe Summers, Julian Peedle-Calloo (“Louder Than Words”) as Gardner, Cherie Gordon (“Boat Story”) as Tasha, Rinkoo Barpaga (“You Don’t Know Me”) as Vinay, James Joseph Boyle as Matthew, Duffy (“Small World”) as David, Joanne Harrison as Brennan’s mum and David Hirshman (“Signs of an Affair”) as Brennan’s dad.
