The BBC has announced a new crime drama titled 'The Cage', created and written by BAFTA-nominated Tony Schumacher, featuring Sheridan Smith and Michael Socha. Set in a Liverpool casino, the story follows Leanne (Smith) and Matty (Socha) as they both attempt to rob the same safe, leading them into conflict with a local gangster and the police. Directed by Al Mackay, the five-part series promises a mix of humor, darkness, and emotional depth, as Schumacher aims to deliver a narrative rich in love and life.
