Expect to see a very different side of Lily Allen when she stars in the new comedy-drama series 'Dreamland' – about the secrets, lies, loves and aspirations of four sisters.
The 'Smile' And 'Somewhere Only We Know' star makes her TV debut (having played the role of Elizabeth Taylor in 2019 movie 'How To Build A Girl') joining a cast alongside Freema Agyeman ('Sense8' and 'Doctor Who').Set in the British seaside resort town Margate, 'Dreamland' is based on the 2018 BAFTA-winning short of the same name and explores multi-generational relationships and their (somewhat dysfunctional) family dynamics.
Allen portrays Mel, who makes an unexpected return to Margate disrupting the plans of eldest sister Trish (Agyeman) who is pregnant for the third time with her partner Spence (Kiell Smith-Bynoe).
Trish's two sisters Clare (Gabby Best) and Leila (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) rally around Trish with their mum (Frances Barber) and their Margate-legend nan (Sheila Reid), 'manifesting' a little girl at Trish's 'mani-festival'.
But when their other sister, Mel, makes an unexpected reappearance back into their lives, her return threatens to destabilise the entire family. A knock on their door and their 'Dreamland' is no more.
The series also features a guest appearance from Samantha Bond (Downton Abbey).
'Dreamland' premieres on Binge and Foxtel's Fox Showcase from 6 April.
