NEW CHANNEL 5 DRAMA
REVEALS LEADING SERIES CAST
Beside the news that BBC has ordered the second season of Marie Antoinette series, another info coming from the isle is that Channel 5 is shooting new thriller series COMA in which Jason Watkins plays Simon, a devoted family man, finds himself at a breaking point as his neighbourhood falls victim to the terrorising antics of a group of teenagers, led by the menacing 17-year-old Jordan Franklin (Joe Barber), and his questionable
companions. Simon and his wife, Beth (Claire Skinner), are desperate to move their young daughter to a safer area away from the threatening atmosphere. When Simon’s frustration reaches its peak and he confronts Jordan outside his own home, a split-second decision changes everything. David Bradley will be Simon’s quiet grumpy neighbour Harry, Jonas Armstrong is Jordan’s dangerous father Paul, and David Mumeni is Simon’s untrustworthy boss Jimmy.
