Deaf cast and crew take centre stage in new BBC revenge thriller Reunion
As the four-part series starts filming in Sheffield, UK, the BBC has announced the cast. As the majority are deaf or use British Sign Language, the series marks a milestone in inclusive storytelling.
Matthew Gurney (Name Me Lawand) will lead as the prisoner, Daniel Brennan. Upon his release, Daniel is isolated, shunned by his close friends and the wider deaf community for his “heinous crime,” as well as the inaccessible hearing world.
