‘Bedlam’: Series 2 newcomers tease their roles

Posted Filed under

It was announced earlier this week that Turner (Being Human) will lead the show’s new cast as paramedic Ellie, with Gemma Chan (Secret Diary of a Call Girl) joining the cast as Kate’s old friend, Kiera, alongside newcomers Jack Roth and Nikesh Patel as Max and Dan.

Lacey Turner commented: “I am really excited about taking part in the second series of Bedlam! It’s a great story with brilliant writing and a fantastic cast! Ellie is a really interesting and conflicted character I’m looking forward to playing her and seeing where the story takes her.”

Jack Roth said: “I thought the first series was very interesting, opening many exciting doors to explore in a far darker way and I can’t wait to get started on the second one. Horror is a genre which can be capitalized upon brilliantly for television as there is time to fully develop ideas and my character. Max has a great backstory with countless intriguing and mysterious directions to be taken along with Ellie.”

Gemma Chan added: “I think the scripts have a great mix of drama, suspense and supernatural chills that people will really enjoy. Keira’s a complex soul and a bit of a loose cannon; definitely fun to play! It’s going to be a fantastic series and I’m looking forward to working with the new cast.”

Nikesh Patel said: “The new series of Bedlam has a really exciting cast. Dan has a dark side to him which is going to be a lot of fun to play, and I can’t wait to get stuck into the role.”
