DESCRIPTION:
(from Paramount+'s press release, April 2024) Paramount+ has today released a selection of first look photos for UK original drama series INSOMNIA, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by bestselling author Sarah Pinborough. Paramount+ has also confirmed that the six-part series, produced by Left Bank in association with All3Media's Build Your Own Films, will debut exclusively on Paramount+ in the UK on 23rd May. Global sales are handled by Sony Pictures Television. Today's photos see series lead Vicky McClure (Line of Duty, Trigger Point, This Is England) for the first time as successful career woman Emma Averill. INSOMNIA follows Emma, who fears she might be losing her mind when her hard-won dream life starts to turn into a nightmare. A couple of weeks before her fortieth birthday, Emma stops sleeping - just as her mother had done right before she suffered a violent psychotic breakdown on the night of her own fortieth birthday. Emma's mother always told her she'd go the same way, that she had the same "bad blood" and now Emma's terrified it's true. As events worsen, Emma's world starts to unravel and she realises that only by investigating the truth of her painful past, can she find the answers to her present and prevent tragedy from striking a second time. |
