Can”t wait to start filming on this thrilling, complex story about family finding their way through a terrifying situation.”

Brocklehurst added: “No Return is truly a passion project for me. It’s the story of a family caught in a modern nightmare but it allows us to explore themes of parenthood, justice, addiction and consent.
