Leather, a BAFTA and RTS award-winning writer, is penning the series for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
“Can two people who’ve never met, one on the train and one not, work together to save the lives of its disparate group of passengers as the Heart of Britain service hurtles towards what might quite literally be its final destination?” reads the logline. “I couldn’t be more excited to work with Euston Films and the BBC to drive the engine of this real-time thriller and take our audience along for a ride full of personal intrigue, political manoeuvring and danger,” said Leather. “By the time dawn breaks at the end of this journey, no-one involved will ever be the same again”.
Gaynor Holmes, commissioning editor for BBC Drama, added: “Nick Leather’s ingenious scripts combine a fantastic premise with a nail-biting plot and characters you will root for. We can’t wait to bring ‘Nightsleeper’ hurtling on to the BBC – viewers will definitely want to catch it.”
