As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for period dramas and a soft spot for underdog stories, I must say that The Hardacres seems like a captivating addition to my watchlist. Having grown up amidst the rugged beauty of rural England, much like the setting of this series, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia at the prospect of delving into 1890s Yorkshire.
Channel 5 has officially announced that the premiere of its upcoming period drama, The Hardacres, will be broadcast on Monday, 7th October, starting at 9 PM.
This six-piece dramatic series unfolds in the 1890s countryside of Yorkshire, drawing inspiration from a collection of novels penned by CL Skelton. The story revolves around the rise to wealth of the main characters, the hardworking common folk who bear the title of this production.
As a dedicated viewer, I’m thrilled to see Channel 5 delving deeper into the captivating world of rural period dramas, building upon the immense popularity they’ve achieved with ‘All Creatures Great and Small’. It’s hard not to get excited about this new venture, especially for fellow fans who share my affection for that beloved series.
In this fresh series, Claire Cooper portrays Mary Hardacre, a character partnered with Liam McMahon’s Sam Hardacre (from Warrior Nun). Meanwhile, Julie Graham takes on the role of Mary’s mom, affectionately called “Ma,” who also appears in the show. (Previously seen in Ridley and Time.)
In this scenario, Adam Little from Ackley Bridge portrays Joe, Shannon Lavelle debuts as Liza, and Zak Ford-Williams, known for Better, takes on the role of Harry among the Hardacre children.
The show is characterized as a “chronicle that traces the lives, relationships, and ups and downs of the Hardacre family, who transition from a gritty coastal fishing village to a grand estate in the countryside during the 1890s in Yorkshire.
In brief, the summary for the first episode goes like this: “Following a tragic incident at the docks involving Sam Hardacre, a dock worker, both he and his family are left jobless. They now have to scramble to secure employment quickly, or they risk becoming homeless.
Mary, his wife, along with their daughter Liza and Mary’s mother, set off to explore the opulent mansions of Thornton Hall, hoping to find employment there.
Earlier glimpses of the program were hinted at in Channel 5’s fall preview, a sneak peek that likewise revealed brief clips from various other major productions on the channel.
Simon Cox, the producer, shared his sentiments about the series earlier on: “From the moment we read the scripts for The Hardacres, we were captivated by their world. We’re thrilled with the talented cast that Playground has brought together.
There’s no question that global viewers will be captivated as they join this gifted acting family on their adventure.
The Hardacres begins on Channel 5 on Monday 7th October at 9pm.
