Casting confirmed for Dreaming Whilst Black

The six-part comedy series will air on BBC Three.

Dani Moseley, Demmy Ladipo, Rachel Adedeji and babirye bukilwa join Adjani Salmon in leading roles with Jessica Hynes, Peter Serafinowicz, Steve Furst, Roger Griffiths, Jo Martin, Martina Laird joining the series in supporting roles alongside Alexander Owen and Will Hislop.

This news follows on from the announcement last September that Dreaming Whilst Black had been commissioned for a full six-part series following the success of its pilot episode which aired in 2021.

Loosely inspired by real life events, Dreaming Whilst Black tells the story of Kwabena, an aspiring filmmaker stuck in a dead-end recruitment job who takes the first step to achieve his dream. However, he is quickly confronted with the tribulations of balancing finances, love, and his own sense of reality.
