New BBC One drama The Split continues tonight but who’s on the cast and what’s it all about?
The Split is a new six part drama which airs Tuesday nights at 9PM On BBC One.
The fast-paced world of London’s divorce law circuit provides the compelling, high-stakes backdrop to Abi Morgan’s drama, with the Defoe family revealing its beating, emotional heart.
Says Jane Featherstone, Executive Producer of The Split and Founder of Sister Pictures: “The Split isn’t a series about divorce. It’s a series about love, relationships and marriage, and the legacy of a split within family, the effect of which can be felt long after the painful goodbyes.”
