It all kicks off in 1981 against a background of social unrest, with a group of young people fighting to make a name for themselves as part of a band.<\/p>\n
The youths will dip their toes in the world of music by performing ska, which was very popular in England in the 80s.<\/p>\n
The genre is known for having united young people regardless of race or ethnic background.<\/p>\n
Steven Knight made sure the show was shot in Birmingham, which was one of the original homes of ska music in the UK.<\/p>\n
Famous producer Dan Carey and award nominated musician Kate Tempest are on board as the songwriters behind the music that will be performed by the fictional band in this series.<\/p>\n Mercury Studios, which is tied to the Universal Music Group, has also promised to lend their support by bringing in a range of high profile artists to work on the project.<\/p>\n Major cast members viewers can look out for include Downtown Abbey's Michelle Dockery, Nicholas Pinnock, and David Dawson.<\/p>\n A familiar face from Peaky Blinders will also pop up in This Town, as Irish actor Brendan Gibson is set to appear in the drama.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The six-episode series is going to premiere on \u00a0BBC One and BBC iPlayer next year.<\/p>\n Do you have a story for The Sun Showbiz team?<\/p>\n Email digishowbiz@the-sun.co.uk or call us direct on 0207 782 4220 .<\/p>\n We pay for videos too.
