Get ready for a high-speed thrill ride! The BBC is launching a new six-part thriller, “Nightsleeper,” on September 15th, and it promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

This contemporary tale blends elements of the classic films “Speed” and “Murder on the Orient Express,” as a dangerous hacker takes control of a sleeper train hurtling across the UK. The story unfolds in real-time, following an off-duty policeman and a cyber security expert who must race against time to prevent a catastrophic crash.

Joe Cole, known for his role in “Gangs of London,” stars as the cop trapped on the train, dealing with escalating tensions among the passengers, one of whom may be in league with the hijacker. Alexandra Roach (“The Light in the Hall”) joins him as Abby, a cyber security expert trying to regain control from afar.

“Nightsleeper” features a stellar cast, including David Threlfall, Ruth Madeley, James Cosmo, Katie Leung, and Sharon Rooney, all potential suspects as they race towards their doom. The series promises a fast-paced narrative with twists, turns, heart, and humor.
