Contemporary Family Drama 'Us' is Coming to Masterpiece in June
British drama Us will arrive on PBS' Masterpiece this summer, a heartfelt, witty story about a family on the edge of breaking apart.
Based on a novel by best-selling author David Nicholls, Us follows the story of a couple who embark on a long-planned grand tour of Europe (remember traveling?!), even though the wife has already decided - and told her husband - that she thinks she might want to leave their marriage.
Baptiste's Tom Hollander and Luther's Saskia Reeves play Douglas Peterson and his wife Connie, who head off to see Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, and Barcelona with their distant teen son Albie, despite knowing that their relationship is essentially over. Tom Taylor plays Albie and the series also features Roadkill's Iain De Caestecker and Sherlock's Gina Bramhill as younger, newlywed versions of Douglas and Connie, at a when their unsuitability as partners seemed stimulating rather than stifling.
