Mr Loverman start date confirmed for Line of Duty and Death in Paradise stars’ new drama

As a movie reviewer with a keen eye for storytelling and a heart that resonates deeply with characters grappling with complex emotions, I can’t help but be excited about the upcoming BBC series, Mr Loverman. Having spent years immersed in the intricacies of human relationships, I find myself drawn to narratives that delve into the depths of love, family, and self-discovery.


The BBC has officially set the launch date for the much-awaited show “Mr. Loverman,” and it won’t be too long until it graces our screens at last!

This year, an eight-part drama was announced, and its cast was revealed. Several well-known actors will be starring in the adaptation of Bernardine Evaristo’s 2013 best-selling novel, including Lennie James and Sharon D Clarke.

The upcoming series will kick off on Monday, 14th October at 9:00pm and 9:30pm, airing both on BBC One and iPlayer. Notably, this series features Ariyon Bakare (from His Dark Materials), Tamara Lawrance (Time), and Tahj Miles, who recently left the cast of Death in Paradise.

I, following in the footsteps of Barrington Jedidiah Walker, or simply James, admired around our community for his sophistication and charm, find myself treading a path where suspicion casts a shadow. His wife harbors concerns that he may have been unfaithful, weaving a web with other women.

However, unbeknownst to her, Barrington has been involved in a romantic relationship with his dearest companion and lifelong friend, Morris (Bakare).

In this production, Clarke plays the role of Carmel Walker, Barrington’s wife, while Lawrance and Sharlene Whyte, known for their roles in Small Axe, portray their daughters, Maxine and Donna respectively.

Miles will play Barrington and Carmel’s grandson Daniel.

This series is described as an uplifting tale that centers around themes of family, love, and self-discovery. Audience members are promised an enjoyable experience.

Based on the given synopsis, “Barrington Jedidiah Walker, often called Barry by his friends, is an energetic character from Hackney who is 74 years old and was born in Antigua. He is well-known for his stylish sense of fashion, particularly his preference for vintage suits.

“Carmel, his wife of 50 years, senses that Barry has been cheating on her with other women.

She’s unaware of the truth: it’s a clandestine, ardent relationship he shares with his dearest companion and kindred spirit, Morris.

In the latter stages of his life, Barry finds himself at a crucial crossroads, needing to make significant decisions that will provoke introspection and uncertainty among all his loved ones about what lies ahead for them.

Filming for Mr Loverman took place in London and Antigua and it wrapped earlier this year in April.

The extra cast members consist of Keenan Munn-Francis (portraying Black Dog), Gabin Kongolo (as a youthful Bariau), and Lauren Akosia (assuming the role of youthful Carmelita, also known as Carmel).

The list of actors doesn’t end there, expanding to include Suzette Llewellyn from EastEnders, Lochlann O’Mearáin from Joyride, Hopi Grace from Boiling Point, Llewella Gideon from Top Boy, Doreene Blackstock from Sex Education, Juliet Garricks from Murder, They Hope, and Clint Dyer from Mine.

Mr Loverman begins on Monday 14th October at 9pm and 9:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
