Sheridan Smith has been announced as the star of a new TV adaptation of bestselling Lucy Clarke thriller The Castaways.The book, first published in 2020, was a hit with readers and made its way onto the Sunday Times bestsellers list, so a TV series in the works at Paramount Plus is highly-anticipated. Sheridan, known for Mrs Biggs, The C Word and Cilla, will star alongside Showtrial's Celine Buckens as sisters who find a holiday of a lifetime turns into a devastating nightmare.
Lori (Sheridan) and Erin (Celine) think they are headed to paradise in Fiji, but after a huge fight Erin decides not to board their island-hopping plane - which, with Lori aboard, never arrives at its destination. A heartbroken Erin is still desperate to find out what happened to her sister months on, with no wreckage or survivors ever found.
But when Lori's credit card is used in a remote corner of a Fijian island and the CCTV shows the plane's pilot, apparently back from the dead, was using it, she leaves the UK to go in search of her sister once more. The gripping plot jumps back and forth between Erin's present-day search and Lori's battle for survival after the plane goes down.
But will they ever be reunited? And who on the island would kill to stop their fate getting out? Secrets about each sister emerge as Erin tries to discover the truth. Sheridan said: “I’m so excited to be working with Céline Buckens and to be part of this amazing production bringing Lucy Clarke’s best selling novel to life.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In “Black Flies,” a movie that keeps working to get high on its own intensity, Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan play paramedics who spend their nights driving through hell (I mean, Brooklyn). There are countless shots of the two in their EMS van, riding along under the tracks of an overhead subway train — the exact kind of grungy Brooklyn boulevard that Popeye Doyle went smashing through in the famous “French Connection” car/subway chase. As Rut (Penn) and Cross (Sheridan) patrol the borough neighborhood of Brownsville, one of the poorest and most crime-ridden sections of New York City, those overheard tracks become part of the film’s meticulously oppressive visual design. The two have so little breathing room they can barely see the sky. After a while, though, you start to think: Don’t these guys everdrive down a side street? Like everything else in “Black Flies,” those subway tracks are stylish signifiers of doom that are a little too in-your-face.
