NW

NW is the television adaptation of Zadie Smith’s bestselling book of the same name, now a 90-minute drama for BBC Two.

NW tells the story of Natalie and Leah, friends who grew up together in North West London, whose lives have taken them in different directions.

Set apart from the friends and family she grew up with, Natalie finds herself asking not only who she really is, but where she belongs. In an area where wealth and poverty are only streets apart, life is fragile and secrets are dangerous - as Natalie and Leah are about to find out.

Nikki Amuka-Bird plays the outwardly successful but unfulfilled Natalie, with Phoebe Fox as Leah, her more grounded friend whose life is also at a crossroads. Adapted by Rachel Bennette, directed by Saul Dibb and made by Mammoth Screen.
