Nottingham actor Bella Ramsey has been announced among the cast of the new series of the BBC crime drama 'Time'. The 19-year-old, who starred in HBO hit The Last Of Us earlier this year, will be joined by Jodie Whittaker, Tamara Lawrance and Siobhan Finneran in the three-part drama.
Time, created by Jimmy McGovern and in its second series, will focus on life inside a women’s prison. Arriving at Carlingford Prison on the same day, Kelsey (Ramsey), Orla (Whittaker) and Abi (Lawrance) are thrown together to face an unfamiliar world.
But even with the ever-present threat of violence within its walls, they discover that an unexpected sense of community, and a shared understanding, still might be possible. Bella said: “I’m very happy to be a part of this project, working with an incredible team and following on from a stellar first season.

"And it’s such an honour to be Kelsey, I’m really excited to experience the world through her for a few months.” The first instalment of Time was a huge hit for the BBC, with an average of 11.6 million viewers across its three-part run (30-day BBC all-screens data).
The series, which starred Sean Bean and Stephen Graham, won the 2022 BAFTA Television award for best mini-series. Filming for the latest series will take place in and around Liverpool soon.
