Reunion is a new "epic revenge thriller" coming soon to BBC One which stars TV heavyweights Anne-Marie Duff and Eddie Marsan alongside deaf actors in the bilingual series.

Written by Sheffield-born deaf writer William Mager, Reunion is described as an emotional thriller of revenge and redemption following the journey of Daniel Brennan after he is released from prison.

Here is everything we know so far about Reunion on BBC One, including plot, cast, start date, and location...

What is the plot of Reunion on BBC One?

BBC thriller Reunion introduces Daniel Brennan, a deaf man "determined to right his wrongs" while unravelling the truth behind the events that led him to prison.

A synopsis from the channel tells us: "Brennan embodies the struggle of a man caught between two worlds, unable to fully integrate into the hearing world and shunned by his closest friends and the wider deaf community following his heinous crime.

"Amidst this isolation, Brennan's only meaningful relationship is with his estranged daughter Carly, who he has not had any contact with since his arrest over a decade ago.

Is Matthew Gurney deaf?

Actor Matthew Gurney is a deaf actor, known for playing Adam in Switch, a British signed soap opera, following the lives of deaf people.

He won the Best Actor award at Deaffest 2017 for his role of Mitch the plumber in the deaf sitcom Small World.

On stage, the Oxford-born actor portrayed Berowne in the production of Love's Labour's Lost (performed in British Sign Language).

Reunion is a bilingual series which features both British Sign Language (BSL) and spoken English.

Talking about the series, Matthew Gurney said: "Reunion is an amazing storyline and is completely different from my previous work. My character Brennan is on a wildly different journey than that portrayed by normal deaf lives, this portrays a man who is hated within the deaf community."

He added: "It shows how deaf people react and act on screen in an honest and authentic way. We are different to hearing actors, we are so much more visual storytellers. It's not about relying on sound, it’s about using your eyes and seeing what is going on in the story."

How many episodes is it? When's the start date?

BBC One's Reunion will be four parts of one hour long.

The channel has not yet confirmed the start date of the new thriller, but we're told it's coming soon...

We're also waiting to hear if it will air on consecutive days over one week (which is often the case with four parters).

We suspect it will land on BBC iPlayer as a boxset first, similarly to The City is Ours, and Ten Pound Poms.

Who is in the cast of Reunion on BBC One?

Deaf actor Matthew Gurney plays former convict Daniel Brennan. This is arguably his first leading role in a primetime show on the BBC.

Anne-Marie Duff portrays Christine in the cast of Reunion. Christine is desperate to find Brennan and get to the full truth behind what he did.

The actress is famous for playing Grace Williams in Bad Sisters, Susannah in Suspect, and Erin Wiley in Sex Education. Shameless fans will know her best as Fiona Gallagher.

The ever-brilliant Eddie Marsan stars as Stephen Renworth, Christine's protective boyfriend. Eddie played John Darwin in The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe, Terry in Ray Donovan, and Mr Norrell in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

Meanwhile, former EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis plays Christine's daughter Miri. She recently starred in the brilliant crime series Ludwig, and will soon appear in Code of Silence in a "groundbreaking role".

Lara Peake plays Daniel's estranged daughter Carly. She recently portrayed Daysee Butler in the cast of Rivals on Disney+.

Talking about the series, Lara said: "There's so much in Reunion that people can relate to, from the relationships and storyline to what it feels like to be isolated from a community and welcomed into a community.

"To be able to watch a show that is led by deaf actors is incredible and the inclusion of sign language is not seen often enough. It's a real opportunity to learn and become fascinated and immersed in that world."

Where is it set and filmed?

Reunion was filmed in and around Sheffield. The series was produced by Sheffield-based Warp Films for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.

The first-look pictures show the cast set against the striking landscape of Sheffield and the Peak District.
