Filming for BBC series The Dream Lands, with actors including Pascale Kann, Tareq Al-Jeddal, Ruby Bridal and Anna Friel, was well underway today (April 24) at Arlington House and outside Dreamland.
Action shots were being filmed with Pascale Kann, who plays lead role Chance, and Ruby Bridal (Gates, Casualty) as Nugget.
The Dream Lands also stars Anna Friel (Marcella, Broken) who takes the role of Jas, Connor Swindells (SAS Rogue Heroes, Sex Education, Barbie) as Kole, Clara Rugaard (I Am Mother, Black Mirror) as Franky, BAFTA award-winner Katherine Parkinson (Rivals, Significant Other) as Antonia, Golda Rosheuvel (Bridgerton, Dune: Part One) as Iona, Jacob Greenway (The Watchers, Father Brown) as JD, Tareq Al-Jeddal (Ridley, Maternal) as Nye, Scarlett Rayner (Trying, Silverpoint) as Stevie and Raphael Sowole (The Crow Girl, Apartment 7A) as Trevor.
The drama is based on the novel Dreamland by Ramsgate author Rosa Rankin-Gee.
Rosa Rankin-Gee’s book, published by Scribner, is set in the near future, where Margate is again in decline and rising seas regularly flood the town. The town is captured in perfect detail, from Arlington House to an abandoned Westwood Cross. Although set against a dark backdrop, it’s at heart a love story and one threaded through with hope and joy.
The BBC, SISTER, and Universal International Studios are bringing The Dream Lands to BBC iPlayer and BBC One with BAFTA award-winning writer Kayleigh Llewellyn.
Filming in Margate is scheduled between now and May 10.
