The first trailer of Belfast Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Sky's Covid-19 drama This England has been released.
The series, written and co-directed by Michael Winterbottom (The Trip, The Road to Guantanamo, 24 Hour Party People) will premiere on Sky Atlantic and NOW later this year.
Sky says: "The series, based on Boris Johnson's tumultuous first months as UK Prime Minister, traces the impact on Britain of the first wave of the Coronavirus pandemic.
"The drama takes us inside the halls of power, as Johnson (Branagh) grapples with Covid-19, Brexit, and a controversial personal and political life.
"The events in government are interwoven with stories from around the UK, from the experts and scientists racing against time to understand the virus; the doctors, nurses and care-home workers on the frontline working tirelessly and heroically to contain and overcome it; and ordinary people whose lives were thrown into turmoil."
