Reunion , whose set  THR  visited last year , is a redemption thriller following the journey of Daniel Brennan, played by Gurney ( Name Me Lawand , Theatre Ad Infinitum), a deaf man determined to right his wrongs while unraveling the truth behind the events that led him to prison. Caught between two worlds, he is unable to fully integrate into the hearing world and is also shunned by his closest friends and the wider deaf community.

"Amidst this isolation, Brennan's only meaningful relationship is with his estranged daughter Carly, played by Lara Peake ( How to Have Sex ,  Rivals ), who he has not had any contact with since his arrest over a decade ago," according to a synopsis. " Anne-Marie Duff  ( Bad Sisters ,  The Salisbury Poisonings ) stars as Christine, desperate to find Brennan and get to the full truth behind what he did, alongside  Eddie Marsan  ( Back to Black ,  Ray Donovan ) as Stephen Renworth, Christine's protective boyfriend, while  Rose Ayling-Ellis  ( Summer of Rockets ,  As You Like It ) plays her daughter, Miri."

The four-hour-long episodes of  Reunion  were directed by Luke Snellin ( One Day ,  Wanderlust ) who also served as executive producer, with Helen Ostler ( The Last Kingdom ,  Crime ) as producer, and Siobhan Morgan ( Waterloo Road ,  Hollyoaks ) as associate producer. Mark Herbert ( Four Lions ,  The Virtues ,  This Is England ) and Gwen Gorst ( Unforgotten ,  A Discovery of Witches ) are executive producers for Warp Films, alongside creator and writer Mager, with Rebecca Ferguson and Jo McClellan serving in those roles for the BBC.

BBC Studios  is selling the series internationally and launched it to the global market at Series Mania in Lille , France, this week.
