BBC and A24 are developing a six-part fantasy series titled “The Ministry of Time,” with Aoife Hinds and Billy Howle cast as leads. The show is based on Kaliane Bradley’s bestselling novel, and the series is adapted by Alice Birch, known for “Normal People.” The production adds “The Dune: Prophecy” and “The Perfect Couple” actors to the project.

Hinds is set to play Sophy, while Howle is cast as Commander Graham Gore. Both outlets report that filming is scheduled to begin in and around London. While the core information—lead casting, the six-episode structure, and the creative team behind the adaptation—matches across sources, coverage differs in emphasis: one outlet highlights the announcement of the leads and the novel’s adaptation, while the other additionally spells out the characters’ names and notes the production timeline and location.
