First look at Sharlene Whyte, Steve Coogan and Hugh Quarshie in The Murder of Stephen Lawrence sequel Stephen
The upcoming ITV series takes place 13 years after Stephen Lawrence's murder and focuses on his family's campaign for justice.
The sequel to ITV's The Murder of Stephen Lawrence, titled Stephen, is set to be released later this year, with a focus on real events from 2006, 13 years after Stephen Lawrence was murdered while waiting for a bus in in Well Hall Road, Eltham, in 1993.
Though Stephen's mother and father Doreen and Neville knew the identity of their son's killers, the original investigation did not result in charges or a conviction. Their ensuing campaign for justice is the focus of the ITV series, which has been made with the support of the Lawrence family.
The broadcaster has now released first-look images, featuring Small Axe's Sharlene Whyte as Doreen, Breeders' Hugh Quarshie as Neville (a role he also played in The Murder of Stephen Lawrence) and Philomena's Steve Coogan as DCI Clive Driscoll, who led the investigation that finally convicted Stephen's killers.
As well as Whyte and Quarshie as Doreen and Neville Lawrence, Jorden Myrie plays Stephen's younger brother Stuart in Stephen on ITV.

The three-part series will air sometime in autumn 2021.
