Production has wrapped on London-set limited series “Kensal Town,” Variety can confirm.
The six-part drama series, which is set in one of the simultaneously richest and poorest parts of London, features Eric Roberts (“The Expendables”) and Saffron Burrows (“You”).
It is written, directed and produced by William Sarne (“Sean Garnier vs. the World”). Bob Clarke (“Boiling Point”), who raised finance via Samahoma Media Advisors from Insight Media Fund, also produces.
A broadcaster has not yet been lined up but season 1 will launch to the market this month.
Sarne was drawn to writing about the area because of its richly diverse community, both in terms of race, ethnicity, religion and socio-economic status given Kensal Town in north-west London is an area where supermodels and media moguls live side by side with gang members.
The series also stars Callum McGowan (“Jamestown”) as undercover policeman Euan and Emily Carey (“The Lost Girls”) as rich girl Juni,...

(This article contains major spoilers for the second episode of “Loki,” which dropped on Disney+ on June 16)
When the premiere episode of “Loki” teased the possibility of having two Lokis facing off against each other, fans relished the idea of having to privilege to experience a whole TV show in which Tom Hiddleston has to do battle against himself.
But that didn’t happen. Instead, this other Loki is a woman. And this version of the character is played by an English actress named Sophia Di Martino.
While Di Martino is not a household name here in the U.S., she’s certainly not new to the business — her on-screen career goes back to 2004, with most of her work coming on British television. Her most recent splash — other than “Loki,” obviously — was Channel 4’s acclaimed black comedy series “Flowers,” which Di Martino starred in alongside Oscar-winner Olivia Colman.
