It will tell the story of Sarah’s relationship with Tony – a 47-year-old man with the degenerative condition – as the care home struggles to cope with the spread of the virus.
When Channel 4 first announced the drama, Stephen said: ‘I’ve wanted to work with Jodie for ages, and together we’re hugely passionate about shining a light on one of the biggest tragedies of our time and the people at the heart of it.’
Jodie added: ‘For us to be able to explore such a relevant and emotive story through the eyes of such beautifully real characters, and in our home city of Liverpool, is a real honour.’
The duo lauded creator Jack Thorne, as Jodie went on: ‘I am, of course, thrilled to finally be working alongside Stephen and the supremely talented Jack, Marc and those at Channel 4…
‘We’re determined to do justice to so many of the untold stories and heroes that have been affected as a result of this crisis and to handle them with care.’
Echoing her sentiments, Stephen said ‘Jack is one of the greatest and most truthful writers of our generation and in Help he has crafted a profoundly important piece of social realism’.
Care homes have one of the hardest-hit areas during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many residents separated from loved ones for months.
Jodie is known to many for her role as the ruthless assassin Villanelle in Killing Eve, a role which saw her awarded with a BAFTA and a Primetime Emmy.
She is looking at adding to her trophy cabinet as it was revealed on Wednesday that she has been nominated for a Golden Globe.
