     THE CADBURYS    
1ST TOBY REGBO PERIOD SET DRAMA IMAGES
And yes, it is about the chocolate empire! New U&Original period set drama THE CADBURYS will be a six episode warm hearted family drama following the visionary Cadbury family, the underdogs of the cocoa world, on their journey towards creating the world famous Cadbury’s chocolate bar and we have the first images from this lovely new series for you. The series will air next year on U and will also stream on BritBox for the viewers in North America.
 
  WHAT IS THE STORY OF THE SERIES? 
In 1860s Birmingham, when chocolate as we know it doesn’t yet exist, two very different brothers, Richard (Toby Regbo) and George Cadbury (Harry Gilby), find themselves in charge of their family’s failing cocoa business. Together, they have the radical genius and burning ambition to turn Cadbury into one of the world’s most beloved confectioners – if they can only learn to trust and rely on each other. Their sister Maria (Jessica Barden) is navigating her own role within the family and the business, but things become even more complicated when she falls in love with Cadbury’s biggest rival, Francis Fry (Ben Hardy) and is forced to question where her true loyaltiesreally lie. Infused with historical delights and magical invention, The Cadburys is about how we build, break and rebuild the bonds of family - and how the sweetest things in life are rarely simple. Pearce Quigley stars as their father, John Cadbury. Poppy Gilbert as Richard's eventual wife, Elizabeth Adlington with Joanna Scanlan as her mother, Dorothy Adlington. Mathew Baynton will appear as fellow British chocolatier Joseph Rowntree.

  1. Esta sí que me atrae y va directa a mi lista. Reconozco que el chocolate juega con ventaja, pero también disfruto mucho de este tipo de series de época. En mi caso deberían emitirla con una advertencia: no verla con la despensa vacía.
    Un abrazo enorme, con una tableta reservada para ti.

    1. Thanks, dear Angelito, but I do not eat sugar, so no chocolate for me, sadly. This is probably the 2027 project that makes me most excited, I think it will be lovely.
