“It felt like we were reconnecting after a long time,” To Leslie star Andrea Riseborough said today of working with Domhnall Gleeson on Alice & Jack, Channel 4 & PBS Masterpiece‘s upcoming romantic drama that premiered at Mipcom Cannes.
Riseborough and Gleeson have worked plenty together down the years including on Never Let Me Go and Shadow Dancer, but hadn’t partnered on a project for some years until the series.

“It was so catapulted and so real,” she added. “It’s strange to be both young and old with someone but I’ve done that with Domhnall and our relationship kind of reflects Alice and Jack’s meeting.”

Or will life and their own emotional complexities get in the way.”
Speaking to Deadline in September, creatives behind the show said they wanted it to feel like an indie film, and Riseborough described the show today as “feeling like indie cinema, but it’s so fast.”
She also praised the supporting cast including Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood and Aisling Bea as the “cream of British comedy writing.”
