Two people who’ve never met will need to work together to save the lives of the train’s passengers before the train can reach a deadly final destination. One of the potential saviors is on the train while the other is not. The six-part series will be available on BBC and BBC iPlayer. Filming is expected to take place next year in Glasgow, Scotland.
Nightsleeper will be directed by Jamie Magnus Stone and produced by Jonathan Curling. Writer Nick Leather said, “I couldn’t be more excited to work with Euston Films and the BBC to drive the engine of this real-time thrilled and take our audience along for a ride full of personal intrigue, political manoeuvring, and danger.”
