“I’m not in that group chat,” stated Dougray Scott during an appearance on The One Show, highlighting a humorous moment amid the excitement surrounding the upcoming BBC drama, Crookhaven.

Scott portrays Caspian Lockett in the series, which centers on a clandestine school for rogues known as Crookhaven. The pupils, referred to as Crooklings, navigate a world filled with intrigue and competition, particularly for the coveted Crooked Cup.

Carmel Laniado, who plays Penelope, the headmaster’s daughter, responded to Scott’s comment with a light-hearted assurance: “I need to add you. I promise you, you honestly would not want to be in it.” This exchange reflects the camaraderie among the cast as they prepare for the show’s release.

The adaptation is based on the novels by J.J. Arcanjothe, and aims to restore balance, justice, and order to the wider world. The series features a diverse cast, including industry veterans like Julie Hesmondhalgh and Keith Allen, alongside fresh talent.

Screenwriter Justin Young expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “From the moment my daughters and I read the first Crookhaven book, I knew it had the potential to be a thrilling, timeless series for the whole family.” Young added, “Bringing the Crookhaven world to life has been a glorious adventure, and it’s both an honour and a thrill to be working with such an extraordinarily talented cast and crew – truly a dream mix of industry legends and dazzling new faces.”

The series is set to air weekdays at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer, promising an engaging viewing experience for audiences.

As anticipation builds for the premiere, fans are eager to see how the story unfolds and the dynamics between the characters develop.
