Nicolas Winding Refn (byNWR) and Matthew Read (Moonage
Pictures) bring Enid Blyton’s classics to life with a new and fresh
reimagining of the iconic stories.
The Famous Five follows five daring young explorers as they encounter
treacherous, action-packed adventures, remarkable mysteries,
unparalleled danger and astounding secrets.
In the first episode, ‘The Curse of Kirrin Island’, George’s life is turned
upside down when she learns that her cousins are coming to stay for
the summer. But when Julian, Dick and Anne arrive, George finds
herself including them in what turns out to be the most exciting
adventure of her life so far.
When a body washes up on the beach, apparently the victim of a local
curse, the cousins and Timmy the dog set sail to the source of the
problem – an uninhabited island that belongs to the family.
In a subterranean chapel protected by a deadly booby trap they
discover a goblet whose engraving strongly suggests that a lost hoard
of Knights Templar treasure is waiting to be discovered. But the Five are
not the only ones looking for treasure. Ruthless antiquarian Thomas
Wentworth and his right-hand man Monsieur Boswell are also on the
hunt, and they’re one step ahead.
Will the kids reach the cursed treasure before Wentworth does? And if
their nemesis is right about its true power – what then? George is
played by Diaana Babnicova, Julian by Elliott Rose, Dick by Kit
Rakusen, Anne by Flora Jacoby Richardson, Wentworth by Jack
Gleeson, Fanny by Ann Akinjirin, Quentin by James Lance and Mrs
Wentworth by Diana Quick.
The Famous Five is a BBC commission in co-production with German
ZDF and in association with The Mediapro Studio for Spain, Portugal
and Latin America. BBC Studios are distributing the series
internationally.
Episode one will also air on BBC One between Christmas and New
Year. Two more episodes of The Famous Five will follow in 2024.
