A new series based on Malorie Blackman’s award-winning book series. Starring Jack Rowan as Callum McGregor and Masali Baduza as Sephy Hadley.
Mammoth Screen is producing this gripping story of first love in a dangerous, alternate world where racism divides society. The six-part series is written by Toby Whithouse, Lydia Adetunji, Nathaniel Price and Rachel De-Lahay.
Noughts + Crosses follows two young people Sephy and Callum, who are divided by their colour but united by love. Sephy is a ‘Cross’, a member of the black ruling class and daughter of a prominent politician. Callum is a ‘Nought’, a white member of the underclass. The two have been friends since early childhood but their relationship grows ever more complicated as they come of age. It’s the story of two families separated by power and prejudice but forever entwined by fate.
Bafta Cymru winner Jack Rowan will play Callum McGregor and newcomer Masali Baduza has been cast as Sephy Hadley. Paterson Joseph plays Sephy’s father, the Home Secretary Kamal Hadley, Bonnie Mbuli plays her mother Jasmine and her sister Minerva is played by Kike Brimah. Helen Baxendale and Ian Hart play Callum’s parents Meggie and Ryan and Josh Dylan will play his older brother Jude. Shaun Dingwall plays Liberation Militia leader Dorn. The cast also features Jonathan Ajayi and Rakie Ayola.
