Gavin and Stacey creators Jones and Corden reveal celebrity cast of new show
The Choir is Ruth Jones and James Corden's first project together since the Gavin and Stacey finale on Christmas Day 2024
Gavin and Stacey co-creators Ruth Jones and James Corden have revealed details about their new TV comedy drama series The Choir.
The eight-episode show will air on Apple TV and feature guest appearances by Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham, X-Men's James McAvoy and Harry Potter's Jim Broadbent.
The series follows brother Ben (Corden) and sister Lisa (Jones), who have not seen each other for several years.
The pair previously said the idea came from their family connection to choirs, with Corden's mum and Jones' sister both members of one.
Ben has been living abroad, while Lisa has continued living in their small town where "nothing ever happens".
But when events take a sorry turn, Ben is forced to return to "a life he never wanted, a town he never liked and a family from which he's estranged".
The cast includes Tom Davis, Rosie Sheehy, Susan Brown, Jason Watkins, Alexandira Riley, Sylvestra Le Touzel, Tom Edden, Gary Lamont, Emily Lloyd-Saini, Stephen Leask, Luiis Rouf, Jo Foster, Evie Jones and Farrah Abbassy.
Jones and Corden are executive producers for the series, which is now in production and set to air in 2027.
Jones previously said: "We both feel that choirs, amateur choirs especially, bring people together in a way that maybe nothing else does.
