Filming is now underway on Sky 1 original drama series Jamestown, from Carnival Films.
jamestownJamestown tells the story of three courageous, dynamic women who leave their dark pasts behind in England and make the journey of a lifetime for a new life in early 17th century America, in one of the first English settlements in the new world.
Written by Bill Gallagher (Lark Rise to Candleford, The Paradise), Jamestown is set in an all-male frontier town that’s been without women for 10 years. It tells the story of Jocelyn (Naomi Battrick), Alice (Sophie Rundle) and Verity (Niamh Walsh) who enter this ruthless, male-dominated town. Their unknown future husbands have paid for their passage across the ocean, and the female arrivals send tremors of anticipation, excitement and trepidation throughout the settlement.
Jamestown is a dangerous place where each day brings new adventures and challenges to overcome. The courageous heroines learn that they need to use their wit and guile in order to survive, battling inhospitable wilderness, hardship of the town and suspicious indigenous people to achieve the new lives they want.
Joining the cast as tribal chief Opechancanough is Raoul Trujillo (True Blood, Da Vinci’s Demons). Kalani Queypo (The Royal Tenebaums, Saints & Strangers) will play Pamunkey warrior Chacrow, and Roseanne Supernault (Blackstone, The Drive) acts as Matachanna, an Appomattock woman.
The natural balance of an all-male environment is shaken up, inciting love triangles, bitter rivalries and fierce competition, but bound together by their resolute will to survive, their courage, their hope, their ambition to create better lives for themselves, and ultimately, their friendship, the settlers come together to adjust to the realities of their new lives in Jamestown.
