Meet the cast of Boiling Point TV series
Vinette Robinson and Stephen Graham reprise their roles from the critically acclaimed film, but who else stars?
It's not often a film does so incredibly well that a spin-off TV series is soon commissioned after the credits roll - but that's exactly what's happened in the case of Boiling Point.
Arguably one of the most anticipated dramas of the year, the series follows on from the film, fast-forwarding just eight months after Andy Jones's (Stephen Graham) surprise heart attack at the end of the feature film.
The new four-parter follows Carly (Vinette Robinson) as the new head chef of Point North, but will she be able to cultivate a calmer working environment than her former boss and friend, Andy?
As well as Graham and Robinson reprising their roles as Andy and Carly, a lot of the movie's cast is set to return, as well as some brand new characters.
The series takes on more of an in-depth focus of some of the characters, with the synopsis promising episodes that will follow "the team as the stresses of keeping the restaurant running bear down on them amidst a hospitality industry in crisis".
Read on to find out more about the extensive cast of Boiling Point, including who they star as in the series and where you've seen them before.
