Now, things have only gotten more exciting as the casting line-up for the BBC/HBO co-produced series has been unveiled – and boy, is it positively brimming with talent.
We're yet to find out how each of these stellar actors slots into the overarching plot of First Day on Earth, with character descriptions still under wraps for now, but one thing's for sure, it's already shaping up to be a must-watch drama.
The 10-parter is being made in association with A24, and if their slate of TV dramas is anything to go by – Euphoria, Beef and Dreaming Whilst Black, to name just a few – then we know we're in for a treat.
The newly released description for the series describes Henri as being "on the run – from herself, her life, her partner, and that weird guy at her book talk. When she ends up in Ghana, her ancestral homeland, she finds herself submerged in an altogether different world."
As mentioned, while we don't know who Newton, Peake, Sapani or Gatwa will be playing just yet, we can hedge a very good guess and say that the performances are set to be first-class. Newton is known for playing a variety of characters over the years but in terms of TV, she's known for her roles in Westworld, ER, Line of Duty and more recently held a guest role in the second season of Wednesday.
Peake has also been a mainstay on British TV for some time now, having had notable roles in Shameless, Silk, Black Mirror and The Village, having also recently starred in Say Nothing and I Swear. As for Sapani, he has starred in films like Black Panther (and its sequel, Wakanda Forever) but in terms of TV, is known for starring in Penny Dreadful, Harlots, Killing Eve, Halo and The Diplomat.

At the time of the show's official announcement last year, the official synopsis read: "British novelist Henri (Michaela Coel) is stuck. Work has dried up, her relationship is going nowhere. So when she's offered a job on a film in Ghana, West Africa – her parents' homeland, where her estranged father lives – she can't resist the chance to reconnect with him and the country of her heritage.
On the announcement of the series, Coel said in a statement: "I am delighted to be working with VAL, the BBC and HBO again, and to partner with A24; thanks to all of their combined taste, care and expertise, I feel our show is in great hands.
"The process of creating FDOE thus far has been a beautifully intimate experience, and I am excited to embark on the next phase to eventually offer this as another televisual gift for anyone willing to accompany Henri on what will be a wild odyssey!"
