EastEnders stars from past and present are coming together for a brand-new series.
The show is set to launch on Paramount+ and is based on an adaption of Jayne Cowie’s Novel After Dark, Curfew. It follows a society governed by ‘The Women’s Safety Act’ where men are tracked by ankle tag and confined to their homes by a strict curfew.
Men are bound to their homes from 7pm every night after a woman’s body was discovered brutally murdered in Curfew hours. A veteran Police officer Pamela Green believes a man must be responsible for the act.

But if Pamela proves a man committed this murder she could bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down. Powerful forces are determined to make the curfew system a success and will do whatever it takes to silence Pamela in her relentless pursuit of the truth.

The filming started earlier this year and features EastEnders stars such as Lisa Benjamin, Bobby Brazier, Larry Lamb and Anita Dobson. Larry Lamb plays Rhys Holden, whose family arrives in the UK from America and has to learn to adjust to life under the restrictive curfew system.
Lucy Benjamin is DCI Sue Ferguson, overseeing Pamela’s investigation. Bobby Brazier stars as James, a vocal schoolboy advocating for the abolishment of the curfew, whilst Anita Dobson plays Janet, who runs a ‘motherhouse’, a refuge-style home for women who don’t want to cohabit with men.
