Production gets underway this week on ITV drama Our House, based on Louise Candlish’s novel of the same name.
The four-part drama is adapted by Simon Ashdown and produced by Red Planet Pictures. Red Planet’s Belinda Campbell exec produces.
The story – told in flashback scenes intertwined with the present - centres on Fiona Lawson, who arrives home one day to find strangers moving into her house.
With all her family’s possessions and furniture nowhere to be seen, Fi believes there’s been a huge mistake and insists her home isn’t for sale. With events spiralling beyond her control, her panic rises as she can’t reach estranged husband, Bram…
Author Candlish said at the time of the commission: “Some of the most addictive drama I’ve watched in recent years has come from ITV, so it’s an honour and a career highlight to have an adaptation of Our House join such prestigious company. The way Simon and the Red Planet Pictures team have brought Fi and Bram’s hair-raising story to life is absolute genius.”
Writer Ashdown added: “I was gripped by Louise’s brilliant novel from the first page and loved the deft intertwining of edge of your seat thriller and complex exploration of a marriage in free fall. It’s this balancing act between the two that makes Our House such a compelling story to adapt.”
Red Planet is also busy on its Britbox revival of two new series of Sanditon, due to film later this month in Bristol. It is also in production on the eleventh series of Death in Paradise, which began filming in early June in Guadeloupe.
