Cast[edit]
Production[edit]
A four-part series was commissioned by the BBC in February 2024 based on the successful stage play Dear England by James Graham with Graham adapting the series himself, Joseph Fiennes reprising his role as Gareth Southgate and Left Bank Pictures producing.[1][2][3] It was revealed in March 2024 that, despite a more lucrative offer from the American streaming service Netflix, Left Bank and Graham chose the BBC instead, viewing the play as a national story that should be told by the UK's national broadcaster.[4] In April 2024, after winning an Olivier Award for the stage production, Graham said he was planning on starting the adaptation the next day.[5]
