A Sky Original drama starring Sir Kenneth Branagh This England is based on Boris Johnson's first tumultuous months as prime minister will air next month.
The drama takes us inside the halls of power, as Johnson (Branagh) grapples with Covid-19, Brexit, and a controversial personal and political life.
The events in government are interwoven with stories from around the country, from the experts and scientists racing against time to understand the virus; the doctors, nurses and care-home workers on the frontline working tirelessly and heroically to contain and overcome it; and ordinary people whose lives were thrown into turmoil.
Sky released a new teaser trailer yesterday, that gave us a glimpse at the stellar cast and pivotal scenes.
Ophelia Lovibond, who is known for her roles in BBC sitcom W1A and Guardians Of The Galaxy, portrays the prime minister's wife Carrie Symonds.
