First look at Dear England
The BBC has released the first look at James Graham’s new drama Dear England. The four-part series is based on James Graham’s Olivier-award winning play of the same name about Gareth Southgate and the England men’s football team. It is produced by Left Bank Pictures (This City is Ours, The Crown) and the series will air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in 2026.
Joseph Fiennes will reprise his role as Gareth Southgate. The first look pictures see Fiennes in his role for the first time in scenes depicting England’s triumphant Euro 2024 Semi-Final celebrations, where the men’s team reached their first final of a major tournament on foreign soil. Fiennes is joined by Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Toxic Town) as England men’s team psychologist Pippa Grange, whilst Will Antenbring (Mr Loverman) is Harry Kane, both are seen in today’s first look pictures.
