Charlotte Riley, Ben Chaplin and David Suchet lead cast of BBC’s Press

September 15, 2017 by Gary Collinson

The BBC has announced the cast for its upcoming BBC One drama Press from director Tom Vaughan (Victoria), which is revolves around competing London newspapers and explores the turbulent media landscape of the 24-hour news cycle and the digital age.

Charlotte Riley (Peaky Blinders) is set to play the news editor of fictional broadsheet The Herald, which is in competition with The Post, headed up by editor Ben Chaplin (The Thin Red Line) and Worldwide News CEO played by David Suchet (Poirot). Also featuring in the cast are Priyanga Burford (London Spy), Paapa Essiedu (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Shane Zaza (Happy Valley), Ellie Kendrick (Game of Thrones), Al Weaver (Grantchester) and Brendan Cowell (Game of Thrones).

“The newspaper business is part of Britain’s identity and Mike’s gripping stories of crusading journalists in this ever-changing industry, brought to life by this brilliantly talented cast make for a fresh, thrilling and utterly British contemporary drama,” states BBC Drama Controller Piers Wenger.
