Ryan and Kearney are full of praise for the cast, especially Chanel Cresswell (This is England) as Coleen Rooney and Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones) as Rebekah Vardy. They also scored a coup in securing the talents of Michael Sheen to play Rooney’s formidable lawyer David Sherborne.
“I was pinching myself… I remember the moment when Julie [Ryan, producer] confirmed that he was on board and it was like, wow, this is really happening,” says Kearney.
“He is one of the most charismatic and compelling actors of his generation and so well suited to this role. It’s a really strong cast and I was incredibly blessed to work with them, because they made it a joy and a privilege to turn up on set every day.”
