Golda Rosheuvel, best known for portraying Queen Charlotte in Netflix’s Bridgerton and its spin-off Queen Charlotte, has been cast in The Dream Lands, the BBC’s upcoming TV adaptation of Rosa Rankin-Gee’s dystopian climate change novel.
Rosheuvel joins an ensemble cast that includes newcomer Pascale Kann in the lead role of Chance, alongside Anna Friel as Jas, Connor Swindells as Kole, Clara Rugaard as Franky, and Katherine Parkinson as Antonia, among others. In the series, Rosheuvel will play Iona. The Bridgerton actor has also recently appeared in Doctor Who and Death in Paradise.
Produced by Sister and Universal International Studios, The Dream Lands is set in a near-future version of Margate, where extreme inequality forces the young protagonist, Chance, to navigate life and love while battling to protect her family and friends in a world on the brink of collapse. The series is adapted by BAFTA-winning writer Kayleigh Llewellyn, known for In My Skin.
Salt commissioned the series for the BBC, with executive producers including Naomi de Pear and Holly Pullinger for Sister, Llewellyn, author Rosa Rankin-Gee, and Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC.
