Grantchester star Tom Brittney and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story actress Arsema Thomas have been cast, along with Outlander: Blood of My Blood star Harriet Slater, in the highly anticipated survival thriller, Fall 2, which is a sequel to the 2022 survival psychological thriller, Fall. Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig and co-written by original Fall writer-director Scott Mann and Jonathan Frank, the upcoming film follows Jax, who connects with her late sister's friend as they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
As a big fan of both historical dramas and thrillers, it's exciting to see the stars of some of my favourite period dramas take on a completely different genre. Since stepping down as Grantchester's leading man, Tom Brittney has landed roles in some major projects, from Netflix's Back in Action to the upcoming crime drama, The Westies. I can't wait to see what he brings to Fall 2.

What have the creatives said about the film?
Producer James Harris of Tea Shop Productions praised the "dynamic" cast in a statement. "We are delighted to be working with the extremely talented Spierig Brothers and this incredibly dynamic cast to introduce the next chapter in the Fall franchise," he said. "With Michael and Peter's vision, we hope to bring a bigger and even more vertigo-inducing experience to audiences."
Meanwhile, the Spierig Brothers expressed their eagerness to continue the journey of the first film. "We were huge fans of the first film and couldn't wait to continue the journey," they said. "Our aim was to capture the same intensity that Scott Mann and his team established in the original, while adding new, layered characters who will connect with audiences as they endure extreme and terrifying heights."
