Nightsleeper unveils gripping trailer starring Peaky Blinders’ Joe Cole

As someone who has spent countless hours on trains, particularly late-night sleepers, I can’t help but feel a strange sense of familiarity and anticipation as I watch the trailer for Nightsleeper. The suspenseful atmosphere, coupled with the claustrophobic setting of a moving train, evokes memories of those sleepless nights spent staring out into the darkness, wondering what mysteries lay hidden in the shadows outside.


Based on the initial trailer, it appears that the BBC’s forthcoming thriller, Nightsleeper, promises to deliver an exhilarating and intriguing mystery experience.

The narrative commences in a manner evocative of the initial scene from 2018’s Bodyguard starring Richard Madden. Here, Joe Cole, known for his role in Peaky Blinders, portrays an off-duty police officer aboard a Glasgow to London sleeper train. However, the journey takes an ominous turn as the train is seized, transforming into a dangerous projectile.

Given the possibility that one of the travelers might be collaborating with the hackers, it’s a frantic effort on Joe Roag’s part as Cole to unravel this suspenseful mystery quickly and safeguard his fellow passengers from impending danger.

Watch the explosive trailer below.

On Sunday, 15th September, the show “Nightsleeper” begins at 9:00 PM on BBC One. You can catch up on all episodes starting from 6:00 AM on BBC iPlayer.

The series will air 9pm on Sunday and Monday nights across three weeks.

The BBC characterizes the six-part thriller as both an exhilarating, pulse-pounding action-adventure and a complex whodunnit detective story. They further explain that it’s like riding a roller coaster, with each twist and turn revealing that no one is exactly who they appear to be throughout the course of a single night.

In this story, Alexandra Roach portrays Abby Aysgarth, a technical director at the National Cyber Security Centre who specializes in acting. Alongside Roag, she embarks on a mission to prevent a taken train from causing further chaos. To accomplish this task, they must first determine the identity of the hijacker.
