Butterfield plays Adam, Finneran will play Mrs Phillips and Eccleston joins as Mr Phillps in the six-part series from Double Dutch Productions, part of Banijay U.K .
“Rosie lives with her husband Adam and daughter in a cloistered Christian community,” reads the synopsis. “The fateful arrival of escaped prisoner Sam into her life, reveals the reality and restraints of her world; perhaps this hidden religious community doesn’t have her best interests at heart. And, as the cracks begin to appear in her marriage, Sam presents as her saviour. But with his dark criminal past, where does the greatest danger lie – with the cult or with Sam?”
Filming has started this month in the U.K. with Jim Loach (“Criminal Record”) and Philippa Langdale (“A Discovery of Witches”) directing.
Iona Vrolyk and Myar Craig-Brown exec produce for Double Dutch Productions alongside Gearey. Nick Pitt produces.
“Intergalactic” producer Vrolyk set up the Banijay U.K.-backed Double Dutch Productions in 2022. “Out of the Dust” is the label’s first commission.
