The I Am series, created by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Dominic Savage, is renowned for its unique and intimate storytelling.

Coughlan herself expressed immense excitement about joining the esteemed legacy of the I Am series. "It's an absolute honour to be part of telling the next I Am story alongside Dominic Savage, a singular talent and a storyteller deeply committed to exploring the breadth of the female experience," she stated. "To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who've collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey."

While specific plot details and the nature of their characters remain under wraps, Cole's presence promises an intense and compelling dynamic within the two-part narrative. His previous roles have showcased his versatility and ability to deliver powerful performances, making him an exciting addition to this character-driven series.

 

 

A Legacy of Critical Acclaim and Resonance:

 

Since its debut in 2019, the I Am anthology has consistently garnered critical acclaim and strong viewership, becoming Channel 4's most successful 10 PM drama in six years. Its authentic exploration of women's personal journeys through challenging circumstances has resonated deeply with audiences.
