Boiling Point S1
Following on from the multi-award-winning 2021 film of the same name, the BAFTA-nominated miniseries Boiling Point is set in a high-pressure restaurant kitchen. Picking up eight months after their mentor Andy Jones suffered a heart attack, the BBC miniseries follows head chef Carly and her team as the stresses of keeping the restaurant running bear down on them amidst a hospitality industry in crisis.
The series has already won the 2024 Casting Directors' Guild Award for Best Casting in a TV Drama Series, thanks to a powerful ensemble led by Vinette Robinson (Sherlock), who won Best Supporting Actress at the 2021 British Independent Film Awards for her role in the movie. Also look out for the likes of eight-time BAFTA nominee Stephen Graham (Time), who returns as Andy; Izuka Hoyle (Mary Queen of Scots, Persuasion), who won a BAFTA Scotland Award as Camille in the movie; Ray Panthaki (Gangs of London), whose role as Freeman in the film earned him a nom at the British Independent Film Awards; and Hannah Walters (Time, Malpractice), who Times (UK) says is “stealing the show”.
British-Nigerian actor Stephen Odubola (The Sandman) joins the cast for the miniseries, along with the likes of BAFTA nominee Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Westworld) and BAFTA winner Cathy Tyson (Help, Bank of Dave).
Boiling Point has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the Daily Telegraph (UK) calling it “a Michelin-starred TV drama” and “highly stressful TV” in their 5/5 review.
