The BBC has announced casting for Open Water, based on Caleb Azumah Nelson’s acclaimed debut novel. Will they sink or swim in open water? Tender, intimate and deeply romantic, Open Water is a heartfelt exploration of love, identity and belonging, told with warmth, honesty and emotional depth. Caleb Azumah Nelson says: “The process of bringing Open Water from page to screen has been amazing, and I’ve found some truly outstanding collaborators. The Open Water team would like to pay tribute to Danielle Scott-Haughton, who was an executive producer for the BBC on the series before her passing.
