Black Sails and Jane Eyre star Toby Stephens will join as hot-shot family lawyer Archie Moore as Annabel Scholey, Fiona Button, Deborah Findlay, Ian McElhinney, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Elizabeth Roberts and Alex Guersman return. “Problematic prenups, scandalous wedding crashers, and low-flying marriage proposals, as rom com meets gone wrong, in a chaotic and riotous weekend that guarantees to crack open the heart, before the last of the guests have gone home.” The show also follows the lives of the other Defoe sisters Nina and Rose and their mother Ruth and is produced by the production company Sister. Sister co-founder Jane Featherstone and executive producer Lucy Dyke said: “It is a joy to reunite with Abi and our wonderful Split team for this two-parter for the BBC One and iPlayer. And welcoming the brilliant Toby Stephens to our ensemble, as lawyer Archie Moore, it’s safe to say, sparks are going to fly.” It is set to air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later in the year and has already begun filming in Spain.
