Are you ready to see the dawn and seize The Day?
Paramount+ has today released the first-look imagery for THE DAY, starring Minnie Driver (Emily in Paris, Runaway), Luca Pasqualino (Rivals, The Musketeers) and Louisa Harland (Renegade Nell, Derry Girls). The series is based on the 2018 Belgian series De Dag.
THE PREMISE
THE DAY is an edge-of-your-seat heist thriller. It unfolds across a single, gripping day. When police stumble across a bank robbery mid-heist, the criminals barricade themselves inside. As a result, a terrifying siege begins. The series opens from the police perspective, led by hostage negotiator Sylvia “Vox” Voxley (Minnie Driver). She races against time and mounting pressure to save the hostages. However, as the crisis hurtles towards breaking point, the story rewinds. It pulls viewers inside the bank to relive the same events through the robbers’ and hostages’ eyes.
With each episode flipping perspective between the police operation and the robbers barricaded inside, THE DAY constantly resets the narrative. Each shift in perspective reframes the truth and deepens the mystery, building to an explosive finale where the full picture finally snaps into place.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Co-produced and developed by Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios. THE DAY was written by Ben Harris and Jesse O’Mahoney and is based on the 2018 Belgian series De Dag, created by Jonas Geirnaert and Julie Mahieu. Sebastian Cardwell, Head of Scripted & Deputy Chief Content Officer, UK, and Paul Testar, Commissioning Editor, for Paramount+ UK & Ireland, commissioned the eight-part thriller.
Mike Benson and Andy Morgan will executive produce the series for Clapperboard Studios, with Daniel March for Dynamic Television and Tamryn Reinecke. Jake Rollins serves as Producer. Andy Tohill (The Dig, Dalgliesh) and Ryan Tohill (The Dig, Dalgliesh) will co-direct.
