In the show, Archie Panjabi, the British-Indian actress known for her 2010 Emmy Award winning role in The Good Wife, is accompanied by Vivien Barnes, Black Mirror’s Kiran Sonia Sawar, Dante Patel, Farazana Dua Elahe, Marwaan Rizwan, Jan Francis, and newcomer Viveik Kalra in the role of Danny. As reported by the Express, the actress said, “Danny is suspected of being radicalised and there is this big investigation that intensifies over the course of the series. It’s interesting to see how it impacts each one of their lives for different reasons. We don’t even know whether he’s radicalised or not, but the mere fact he is suspected affects each one of their lives.”
