The BBC has released first-look photos from Boiling Point, the spin-off series from the acclaimed 2022 film of the same name.

In January 2022, Boiling Point director Philip Barantini and co-writer James Cummings' searing one-shot restaurant drama - trailer below - left viewers hungry to see more of close-to-breakdown chef Andy (Graham).

Warning: spoiler alert!

Now comes a four-part sequel as Graham and co-stars Vinette Robinson and Hannah Walters reprise their roles.

Releasing the first-look photos from the series, the BBC said: "Eight months after her mentor Andy Jones (Stephen Graham) suffered a heart attack, head chef Carly (Vinette Robinson) is battling to forge a name for new Dalston restaurant Point North alongside her old kitchen crew.

"We follow the team as the stresses of keeping the restaurant running bear down on them amidst a hospitality industry in crisis.

"With the pressure to draw in new, hungry customers and the financial squeeze to keep the business profitable, the team must find a way to manage their complicated personal lives whilst creating quality food day in, day out."

Barantini, who directed the film, has directed the first two episodes of the series and is also an executive producer. Episodes three and four are directed by Mounia Akl (Costa Brava, Lebanon).

The series is written and executive produced by James Cummings, with married stars Graham and Walters also among the executive producers on the series through their own company, Matriarch Productions.
