The series is an adaptation of Graeme Armstrong's award-winning debut novel of the same name. It follows 15-year-old Azzy from Airdrie, who "longs to become fully initiated into local gang – 'The YTP'".
Fraser plays Azzy's long-suffering mum, Angela, while McKidd has taken on the role of Azzy's inspirational headteacher, Mr McGiver.
"I'm absolutely buzzing to be playing Azzy," he said. "He's such a complex character and there's so much in his story about friendship, belonging and trying to find your place.
They are joined by Connor Newall (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple) as Big Kenzie and Scot Greenan (T2 Trainspotting, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping) as Eck.
The cast also includes a group of emerging actors discovered through an open casting process across North Lanarkshire, including Beinn Catchpole as Whytey, David Russell as Broonie, Mick Mack as Wee Kenzie, Caiden Henderson-Brown as Addison, Lewis Ray as Danny and Jack Mooney as Wee Toffey. Together they form "The YTP" at the centre of the drama.
It is "an unflinching look at the realities of addiction and gang violence, and the fight for a different future for young, disenfranchised people".
He said that the young cast was "an exciting new generation of working-class talent selected from an open audition process that saw over 1,000 young people apply".
Further casting is set to be announced in due course.
