Newcomer Helen Foster joins as Clem, a "freewheeling single mum," while Jason Flemyng plays Miles and Dexter Fletcher portrays Judge Rodney Bax QC in the ensemble cast.
Production commenced in mid-October, with Prescott sharing behind-the-scenes images on Instagram, captioning his post: "We are rollllliiiing, first week into the WAIF shoot and loving it."
