Filming is now underway on Wrecked, the forthcoming BBC Three comedy horror series set aboard a cruise ship.
It's been revealed that Oscar Kennedy, the actor who plays Young Liam in Ladhood, will star in the lead role.
Wrecked, written by Ryan J Brown, is described as "a tense thriller, mixing comedy with a slice of slasher."
Set aboard The Sacramentum cruise ship, the series follows 20-year-old new recruit, Jamie, as he infiltrates the 3000 strong crew in a desperate race to find his missing sister. She was working aboard the same vessel on a previous tour and vanished mid charter.
The producers explain: "Jamie is initiated into cruise life and gets a crash course on the tribes within the staff: the theatre kids, the mafias and the low-paid workers. For this overworked and underpaid crew, life below deck can be an odyssey of partying and excess... and they remain oblivious to the bloodthirsty murders taking place on board. Jamie is forced to turn detective and uncover the sinister truth."
The show will also star Thaddea Graham (The Irregulars) as Vivian, Jack Rowan (Boys From County Hell) as Danny, Harriet Webb (Sandylands) as Karen, Jodie Tyack (Agatha Raisin) as Pippa with new faces Louis Boyer as Sam, Anthony Rickman as Olly, Amber Grappy as Lauren, Diego Andres as Jerome, Peter Claffey as Cormac, Miya Ocego as Rosie, Warren James Dunning as Beaker, Ramanique Ahluwalia as Lily and Alice Nokes as Sophia.
The six 45-minute episodes, directed by Chris Baugh, will be broadcast on BBC Three later this year.
