Paramount+ has greenlit original UK drama CURFEW from Vertigo Films (Monsters, Britannia, Mammals).In association with Evolutionary Films (I Am Vengeance: Retaliation), which has commenced filming in and around London this month.
ABOUT THE SERIES
The six-part crime thriller is set in a society where all men live under ‘The Women’s Safety Act’. This means they are bound by a strict curfew from 7 PM to 7 AM every night. Their movements are tracked by an ankle tag 24 hours a day. When a woman’s body is discovered, brutally murdered during curfew hours. And left on the steps of the Women’s Safety Centre, veteran Police officer Pamela Green believes that a man is responsible. In a world where men are restricted by the curfew system, they do not accept her theory. However, many believe that The Women’s Safety Act, which was introduced almost three years ago, has been successful in safeguarding women. They are able to go out at night without looking over their shoulders, and nobody wants to hear different.
If Pamela proves a man committed this murder, it could bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down. Those in positions of power are determined to ensure the curfew is successfully implemented and will take any necessary actions to prevent Pamela from uncovering the truth.
