Main star Matthew Gurney is a deaf actor, speaking about the BBC drama he said: “It’s an amazing storyline and completely different from my previous work. Brennan is on a wildly different journey than that portrayed by normal deaf lives.

“In previous films, deaf and disabled characters have been portrayed in quite stereotypical ways. This is different, this portrays a man who is hated within the deaf community. That’s why I wanted to know more about him, and that’s why I wanted to get involved.”

Where do you know Reunion actors from?

Lead star Matthew Gurney has had a number of roles over the years including the short film The Doll from 2020. He also appeared in an episode of Coffee Morning Club in 2023.

Lara Peake had a main role in the acclaimed British film How To Have Sex - playing Skye in that film. She was also in Disney Plus’ Rivals as Daysee Butler.

Anne-Marie Duff has had a long career on the big and small screens. You may recognise her role as Fiona Gallagher in Shameless - while she also won a BAFTA in 2024 for playing Grace Williams in Apple TV’s Bad Sisters.

Eddie Marsan will be a familiar face to TV and film viewers. He had a main role in Ray Donovan for much of the 2010s, while also playing John Darwin in The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe.

Viewers may also recognise him from movies like Deadpool 2 - he played The Headmaster - The Gentlemen, Hobbs and Shaw. He also played Mitch Winehouse in Back to Black in 2024.

If you are a fan of EastEnders you may remember Rose Ayling-Ellis from her role as Frankie Lewis. She also competed in and won Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 - and like Matthew Gurney is deaf and is a user of British Sign Language.

Speaking about the show, Rose said: “In my experience, a deaf writer of a TV drama has rarely happened, ever. When I read the scripts there were so many moments in it that were so specific to deaf culture. It got me so excited to see those moments, and I just felt that I had to be involved.”
