BBC’s upcoming thriller “Nightsleeper” is set to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as ex-cop Joe and acting cyber security chief Abby race against time to stop a runaway sleeper train that has been “hack-jacked” in a major cyber attack. Played by Joe Cole and Alexandra Roach respectively, the duo must work together to prevent a disaster as the train hurtles towards an unknown destination.

The series, created by Nick Leather, promises high-octane action and suspense as the characters navigate the crisis with a mix of tension and dark humor. Leather, known for his work on acclaimed dramas like “The Control Room” and “Murdered For Being Different,” brings a unique twist to the thriller genre with this modern take on a classic train-based thriller.

While the scenario depicted in “Nightsleeper” may seem far-fetched, Leather assures viewers that the show’s premise is grounded in reality. Drawing inspiration from real-life incidents like the sabotage attacks on trains in Poland, Leather crafts a gripping narrative that explores the vulnerabilities of modern transportation systems to cyber threats.

As the characters grapple with the unfolding crisis, viewers can expect a blend of heart-pounding action sequences and relatable, down-to-earth performances. Roach’s portrayal of Abby, a working-class cyber security expert, adds depth to the story as she navigates a male-dominated industry with resilience and tenacity.

With all six episodes of “Nightsleeper” set to drop on BBC iPlayer on September 15th, audiences can look forward to a thrilling ride filled with twists, turns, and unexpected revelations. So buckle up and get ready for a train journey like no other, where the stakes are high and the clock is ticking.
