The series, which has finished filming on location in Birmingham and London, stars Jimoh (Ted Lasso) as Marcus and Dujonna Gift (Ludwig) as Effie, in a story based on Caleb Azumah Nelson's acclaimed novel.
"From the moment they meet, they feel an immediate, undeniable connection. But, as Marcus soon learns, Effie is in a relationship with Marcus’s friend Samuel. It’s a boundary that Marcus is unwilling to cross.
"They seem destined for each other, their crush evolving into a love that is ocean deep. But love is never enough, and their path towards one another is treacherous. Will they sink or swim in open water?
The eight-part series has been adapted by Nelson, who also directs and is an executive producer on the project. Open Water won the Costa Book Award for a first novel in 2021, as well as a Betty Trask Award for a first novel by a writer under the age of 35, Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards, and the Somerset Maugham Award.
He said: "I wanted to write a novel a reader could hear and see and feel. And what did I want the reader to feel? That sometimes language failed us, but I was looking for new ways to express how we might feel.
"I knew there would be a discrepancy between what I could feel and what I could say, but if a reader could feel something of what I felt – of my music, my rhythm, my joy, my grief, my pain, my love – then I had done something of what I had set out to do."
