After co-writing last year’s smash hit drama Adolescence, Jack Thorne pens Falling, a contemporary romantic drama following two members of the church who find themselves, well, falling for each other. It’s free to watch in the UK (with a TV licence) – but what if you’re abroad? Good news: we have the solution below.
The show stars Keeley Hawes as Anna, a nun whose head is turned by Paapa Essiedu’s David, a Catholic priest. With the duo deeply committed to their work and their community, both Anna and David are forced to wrestle with what this forbidden love means for their vows, their faith and their relationship with God.
Their chance encounter sees Anna move outside the convent walls for the first time in her adult life, while David battles to instigate change in his long under-supported community.
Hawes and Essiedu are powerhouse talents to lead what is sure to be an emotional ride, with the cast also featuring Jason Watkins, Niamh Cusack, Adrian Scarborough and Susan Brown.
Thorne has proven to be a master of his craft, and Falling promises an intriguing change of pace for the writer. Scroll down for how to watch Falling online and from anywhere.
