Cresswell will take on an as-yet-undisclosed role in the highly anticipated series. She joins a stellar ensemble that includes Damson Idris, who leads the cast as British secret service agent Harry Jones, alongside Harry Lawtey, Arsema Thomas, Sophie Willan, Gemma Whelan, and Timothy Spall. While specific character details for most of the cast are being kept under wraps, Cresswell's addition further bolsters the talent involved in the production.

'The Lords' Day' is an adaptation of Michael Dobbs' acclaimed book, brought to the screen by Bad Wolf, the production company behind 'Doctor Who'. The series is described as a gripping political thriller centered on a crisis at the heart of British politics. The official logline reveals a tense premise: during the State Opening of Parliament, British spy Harry Jones (Idris) finds himself trapped inside the iconic building amidst a lockdown. As the siege intensifies, loyalties are tested, and desperate sacrifices are made in a fight for survival, where not everyone is guaranteed to emerge alive. The series will explore whether Harry can leverage his skills and training to save the country.

Chanel Cresswell brings a wealth of experience and critical acclaim to the project. She earned a BAFTA for her compelling performance in Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne’s 'This is England ’90', a role she reprised across all three hit Channel 4 mini-series. Her recent work includes playing Tammy, Freddy's wife, in Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen', which also streams on Netflix UK. Other notable credits include portraying Coleen Rooney in 'Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama', a role in the critically praised BBC series 'Sherwood', and 'Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards'. Her diverse portfolio showcases her versatility across various genres and complex characters, making her a strong addition to the 'The Lords' Day' cast.
