British actor Kenneth Branagh is set to play Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a new Sky Atlantic drama about the coronavirus pandemic.
The actor, 60, is known for starring in Shakespeare plays including Much Ado About Nothing and as Gilderoy Lockhard in the Harry Potter films.
This Sceptred Isle will reportedly be produced by Fremantle, Richard Brown’s Passenger and Michael Winterbottom’s Revolution Films, and will be a five part series.
It will cover the period of the coronavirus pandemic, and the way scientists, healthcare professionals, public health advisors, and the government have responded to the issue.
