LONDON – Riz Ahmed’s next project is a British-Pakistani drama for BBC. Englistan is going to be a nine part series which he also wrote. The story is going to cover three generations over four tumultuous decades.
This would be Riz’s first penned TV drama.
The project is a production of BBC Studios Drama London in association with Left handed films for BBC Two.
“I’m excited to be working with [BBC Studios executive producer] Esther Springer and all the team at BBC Studios,” said Ahmed. “Englistan is an untold British story with universal themes and resonance. It’s the story I always wanted to tell, and it’s a privilege to have the opportunity to do so.”
