Bafta award-winning and Golden Globe nominated James McAvoy (Split, X-Men franchise, His Dark Materials) and Bafta award-winning and Emmy nominated Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Military Wives) will star as the husband and wife stuck in lockdown together with their young son, Arthur.
"It's a hilarious, heartfelt, entertaining and unconsciously funny exploration of a relationship and a couple facing real tragedy across a year we have all lived through," said McAvoy.
"I think everyone who got involved in this film had no intention of doing a Covid drama but then we read [Dennis Kelly's] script and changed our minds," said Horgan.
