The Child In Time - Benedict Cumberbatch to Star in BBC Retelling Drama

Feb 15, 2017

Benedict Cumberbatch is cooking up another Masterpiece for BBC One.

The Sherlock star will lead and executive-produce a 90-minute retelling of Ian McEwan’s 1987 novel The Child In Time, our sister site Deadline reports.

Cumberbatch will play a children’s author named Stephen Lewis, whose young daughter “goes missing in the lyrical and heartbreaking exploration of love, loss and the power of things unseen.” As the drama unfolds, we see the devastating effects loss can have on a marriage “until hope surfaces and triumphs unexpectedly.”
