‘The Rising’: Sky Studios’ Debut In-House Production Handed Rare Agency To Murdered Female Lead, Says EP Julian Stevens
Sky Studios’ first ever full in-house production, The Rising, combines the murder of a young woman, Neve, with a whodunnit story that she leads from beyond the grave. Its Executive Producer Julian Stevens said giving her “agency” to propel the story allowed the drama to sensitively combine themes of violence against women and the afterlife.
