White House Farm: HBO Max secures US rights to new series
HBO Max will be airing the exciting new series, White House Farm.
Stephen Graham is about to have a big year in streaming! Deadline reports The Irishman star has another show slated to hit the US. HBO Max has acquired the rights to White House Farm, which is expected to air sometime in 2020.
The show revolves around the true events of the infamous White House Farm murders. It’s expected to explore multiple points of view which is necessary to explain how the investigative process was done. While originally it was suspected that Sheila Caffell had murdered her two sons and parents before committing suicide. However, this theory quickly unravels as more and more evidence comes to light.
Graham is slated to play DCI “Taff” Jones, one of the investigators. Freddie Fox of Black’47 is set to play Jeremy Bamber, Sheila’s brother. The cast also includes Mark Addy, Gemma Whelan, Alexa Davies, Mark Stanley, Alfie Allen, Cressida Bonas, Nicholas Farrell, and Amanda Burton.
