Slow Horses actress Catherine McCormack is to star alongside Colin Firth in Sky and Peacock’s retelling of the 1988 terror attack on Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
McCormack will play Jane Swire, the wife of Firth’s character Dr Jim Swire. The couple lost their daughter, Flora, in the disaster and the five-part series follows their search for justice.
Other cast includes Sam Troughton (Chernobyl) as Murray Guthrie, Mark Bonnar (Napoleon) as Roderick McGill, Andy Nyman (A Small Light) as Edwin Bollier, Ardalan Esmaili (Opponent) as Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, and Selwa Jghalef (Layers) as Aisha.
Lockerbie is a Comcast co-production between Carnival Films, which is part of Universal International Studios, and Sky Studios. Scottish playwright David Harrower (Blackbird) is lead writer, with Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders) serving as lead director.
The Lockerbie air disaster killed 259 passengers and crew, and a further 11 residents lost their life as the plane came down over the quiet Scottish town.
