The Disney Channel has announced that it will produce a 22-part series of The Evermoor Chronicles, a live-action drama about a teenage girl who moves from the US to start a new life in the spooky Evermoor Manor.

The four episode miniseries Evermoor, proved to be a ratings hit when it launched on Disney Channel UK last October. The four-parter attracted over 1.6 million viewers, making it Disney Channel UK’s second highest rated series.

Naomi Sequeira, a Disney Channel Australia graduate, will return as lead character Tara Crossley and the series, which explores “themes of teen friendship, family and romance, against the backdrop of a strange and mysterious world”, will continue to follow her adventures and her search to uncover the mysteries of the founding Everines. The series will feature characters from the first series, which included Georgia Locke, Jordan Loughran, George Sear and Finney Cassidy, as well as introduce a range of new characters and cast members.

Production is set to begin this Summer in Liverpool and Warrington (where a special set has been constructed) and on location at Arley Hall, in Northwich, Cheshire.

The series co-created by Diane Whitley and Tim Compton, writers of the hit Nickelodeon children’s series, House of Anubis, will once again be produced by Lime Pictures.

The new series is expected to air in late 2015 with a premiere on Disney Channel in the UK and then worldwide, airing on the Disney Channel in numerous international territories including the United States.

Following in the footsteps of Jamie Blackley , and starring opposite Chloe Moretz as her love interest in a new film adaptation of a young-adult novel, is another young British actor Alex Roe.

24 year old Alex plays Evan Walker in The 5th Wave, which has recently wrapped filming. Alex (represented in the UK by AIM), started acting as a child when he landed the lead role of Jay in one of CITV's last original drama series The Fugitives. and went on to star in the second and third series BBC Switch's popular teen drama The Cut. He has recently filmed a couple of American pilots including ABC Family's tennis drama Unstrung.

The evil extra-terrestrials have been slowly winnowing down defences with a series of attacks that leave our planet a darkened, doomed place where its new conquerors roam in near-human form, picking off survivors.

Chloe Moretz plays 16 year old Cassie Sullivan, a young woman hoping to rescue her brother who figures that her safest bet is to travel alone. Until, that is, she meets the beguiling Evan Walker, who could very well be her last hope. But can she trust him?

Alex has also just been cast as the male lead in Paramount’s Rings, the third installment the horror franchise based on the popular Japanese horror film Ringu, remade in 2002 as The Ring.

The 5th Wave is due to be released in January 2016 and could be the first in a new Young Adult franchise.

Georgina Campbell, recently nominated for a BAFTA for her role in BBC Three's Murdered By My Boyfriend, stars alongside the Inbetweeners' Blake Harrison in a new comedy drama for E4 called Tripped.

Blake Harrison leads the cast as Danny, an average 24-year-old who has decided it’s time to grow up, settle down and marry long-term girlfriend Kate, played by Georgina Campbell, but his childhood friend Milo has other ideas and continues to focus on getting high.



23 year old George Webster (represented by Curtis Brown), who recently starred alongside Evanna Lynch in Irish romantic drama, My Name is Emily, plays Danny's stoner best friend Milo.

One night Milo takes a particularly strong batch of hallucinogens, and Danny appears in his living room - except the real Danny’s at his engagement party, and the real Danny doesn’t normally carry a sword! This Danny claims to come from another dimension, and he brings a warning - the only problem is that Milo’s too wrecked to remember what it is.

Throughout the series Danny and Milo find themselves tripping to various parallel universes where they encounter different versions of themselves, all the time being chased by a dangerous assassin, played by Richard Gadd.

Will Danny and Milo’s friendship survive their adventure in the multiverse, and will Danny manage to return to his reality and get married to his original Kate?

Tripped was commissioned following an original 60-minute pilot by Jamie Mathieson (Doctor Who), entitled Alt, in which Gethin Anthony, Craig Roberts, and Roxanne Mckee played the lead roles.

The new 4x60 minute series is written and co-created by brothers Harry and Jack Williams, with Jamie Mathieson a co-creator and co-writer of episode one.

Blake Harrison said: “I'm really excited to be working on Tripped! It's always frustrating when good actors make me look bad but on this show I get to have a lot of scenes with myself so I should look alright! Also they've let me have a sword so if any one brings me a cold steak I can go full medieval Clarkson on their ass!!

The series is made by Mammoth Screen, and directed by Jamie Stone.

Tripped started filming last week and will be shown on E4 later in the year.

20 year old newcomer Sally Messham, a final year student at RADA, has been cast as Jane Watkins, the daughter of exorcist Merrily,  in ITV Encore’s new three-part drama Midwinter of the Spirit.

Sally (represented by Curtis Brown), will leave RADA early to take up the role alongside the double BAFTA award-winning actress Anna Maxwell-Martin who leads the cast as Merrily Watkins, a single mother who isn’t your average country vicar.

Merrily’s newly acquired training has put her on the dark side of the pulpit. She’s become one of the few women priests working as an exorcist - a job increasingly mistrusted by the modern Church and rarely talked about, even though it operates in virtually every diocese in the UK.

Merrily is deeply human in her doubts and scepticism, but her knowledge of the paranormal underworld brings her to the notice of local police who need her advice in the investigation of a grisly murder. Merrily has been through the mill emotionally of late, losing her unfaithful husband Sean in a car crash and seeking refuge in a job despised by her 16 year-old daughter, Jane (played by Sally) whose rejection of her mother's beliefs leads her into the path of danger.

Sally, who is originally from Stockton-on-Tees, commented on her casting: ‘I'm so excited to start learning from some really experienced, exceptional actors and I'm going to lap up every opportunity to soak it in - in front of and behind the camera. It's a great script and a real challenge as my character evolves dramatically over the course of the show.’

The three-part series is based on the books written by successful novelist, Phil Rickman, and has been adapted by BAFTA winning screenwriter Stephen Volk for ITV Studios, featuring Merrily Watkins as the central character.

The series also stars BAFTA winning actor David Threlfall as Rev Huw Owen, a deliverance ministry tutor and Merrily’s mentor.

Also in the cast are Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey, Benidorm), Ben Bailey Smith (The Four O'Clock Club, Law and Order: UK), Leila Mimmack (Home Fires, Becoming Human), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones, The Frankenstein Chronicles), Simon Trinder (Dalziel and Pascoe, Without You), Oengus MacNamara (Game of Thrones, What If) and David Sterne (Tommy Cooper; Not Like That, Like This).

Midwinter of the Spirit will be directed by Richard Clark and filming is about to begin in Hereford.

It will be one of the first original productions to be screened on the new channel ITV Encore.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music, a new film The Trapp Family - A Life in Music is in production in Salzburg. The film, which tells the story behind the legend, is based on the autobiography of Agathe von Trapp, the eldest daughter.

23 year old British actress Eliza Bennett leads the cast as Agathe, starring with Matthew Macfadyen as her father Georg von Trapp alongside an international cast, whilst Vanessa Redgrave plays the older Agathe.

Eliza (represented by Independent Talent) starred in Nanny McPhee and Inkheart as a child, and more recently in thrillers F and Confine, she also appeared in the second series of Broadchurch.

The Trapp Family - A Life in Music tells the story of Agathe, who has been searching for her path in life since her youth: She is the eldest daughter among many siblings, and her relationship with her father, the distinguished marine officer Georg von Trapp (Matthew Macfadyen) and his second wife Maria von Trapp, played by Yvonne Catterfeld, is often difficult.

She develops her beautiful voice and stimulating musical talent together with her family and with the support of the famous singer Lotte Lehmann (opera singer Annette Dasch). She constantly struggles for the love of her childhood sweetheart Sigi (Johannes Nussbaum) and, not least, she must confront the menacing political and social constellations and the rise of fascism in Germany and Austria. Emigration to the U.S. finally brings a decisive step toward freedom and world success.

How Agathe von Trapp found and shaped her own life, with empathy and commitment, emotionally and courageously; how she took up every challenge and never let go of her dream; how she faced problems and ultimately went her own way – this is what Agathe (Vanessa Redgrave) reports many years later in the new American home of her young niece who, just like her, has reached a crossroads and must take important decisions.

The Trapp Family is directed by Ben Verbong, the script was written by Tim Sullivan and Christoph Silber, based on the autobiography "Memories Before and After the Sound of Music" by Agathe von Trapp (1913-2010).

The film is shooting from April until mid June in Salzburg and surroundings as well as in Bavaria, and is set for a European release in Winter 2015/2016.

Directed by Nirpal Bhogal (Sket, Misfits) and produced by Uzma Hasan (The Infidel), Thea is co-produced by Gareth Roberts and Jezz Vernon, with Paul Hyett taking on duties as the SFX creature designer while the team behind electro outfit Gazelle Twin will be comprising an original score under the moniker Newt and Benge.
