Curfew, set to premiere on Paramount+ in the UK, presents a thought-provoking twist on societal norms through its six-part crime drama. Based on Jayne Cowie’s novel After Dark, the series is directed by Joasia Goldyn and features a compelling cast led by Sarah Parish as veteran police officer Pamela Green. The story unfolds in a world where men are required to adhere to a strict curfew from 7 PM to 7 AM, monitored by ankle tags.
The plot thickens when a woman’s body is discovered outside a Women’s Safety Centre during curfew hours. Pamela suspects a man is behind the murder, but her theory faces skepticism in a society that has embraced the Women’s Safety Act, which aims to protect women by restricting men’s movements. The act has been credited with allowing women to roam freely at night, making it politically sensitive for anyone to challenge its effectiveness. As Pamela investigates, she finds herself up against powerful forces intent on preserving the status quo.
Joining Parish are Mandip Gill as Sarah, an employee at the Women’s Safety Centre, and Mitchell Robertson as rookie cop Eddie, who shadows Pamela during his first murder investigation. The cast also includes notable names like Alexandra Burke, Lucy Benjamin, and Larry Lamb, each adding depth to the unfolding drama.
Lydia Yeoman serves as the lead writer, collaborating with Jess Green and Sumerah Srivastav on specific episodes. This diverse writing team aims to explore complex themes surrounding gender and safety in contemporary society. Executive producers Allan Niblo, Jane Moore, and Nathalie Peter-Contesse bring their expertise from Vertigo Films, which produces the series in association with Evolutionary Films.
Viewers can catch “Curfew” on Paramount+, set for release this autumn. With its intriguing premise and strong performances, the series promises to spark discussions about gender dynamics and societal safety measures.
