Season 1 of Nick Leather’s show starred Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders) and Alexandra Roach (Killing Eve) as two strangers forced to work together to save the lives of its passengers.
Season 1 of Nightsleeper was made by Fremantle label Euston Films, which was shuttered around the time it launched as all staff were made redundant, although brand and IP remains with Fremantle. Fremantle label Element, the indie behind Normal People and Poor Things, has stepped in to produce Season 2.
Leather said: “It’s so exciting to set sail on season two. The passengers and crew on tonight’s Belfast to Liverpool passenger ferry are about to experience six hours of non-stop thrills and spills, secrets and lies, triumphs and tragedies. None of them are quite as they seem. Nothing in their lives will ever be the same again. Not all of them will make it to the other side. The new Nightsleeper is going to be more nightsleepery than ever.”
