Hugh Skinner and Leila Farzad were among the Two Weeks In August stars in attendance at a screening for the premiere of the new series.

The upcoming BBC show, created by Catherine Shepherd, follows a group of friends whose Greek getaway descends into chaos and turns into a psychological reckoning, after they become trapped on the island together.

Skinner, who plays Jacob in the upcoming eight-part drama, was all smiles as he was pictured among his castmates at the event at Picturehouse Central in London on Wednesday.

The 41-year-old actor, best known for starring alongside Lily James in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018), wore a casual oversized black suit which he dressed down with a white T-shirt underneath.

He was joined at the screening by co-stars including Farzad, who is best known for starring in Sky Atlantic series I Hate Suzie, and plays Nat in the upcoming BBC thriller series.

The 43-year-old actress also opted for a simple suit, donning a light grey ensemble which she paired with natural make-up, and she also wore her short dark hair in natural waves.

She was pictured at the event smiling alongside co-stars including Jessica Raine, who wore a high neck burgundy polka dot maxi dress.

The 43-year-old actress, who stars in the show as Zoe, also posed for photos alongside Antonia Thomas – who plays Jess.

Thomas, 39, wore a casual, short navy dress with a beige ruffle trim, paired with bright red heels, with her long straight hair flowing down her back.

Django actor Nicholas Pinnock wore a casual ensemble consisting of a beige jacket, white polo and black trousers, while Maria Almeida was wearing a flowing cream satin dress and a pair of black heels.

Other stars in attendance included Damien Molony and Tom Goodman-Hill, as well as Florence Banks, who wowed crowds in a long black balloon skirt and a matching baggy bomber jacket.

Two Weeks In August is expected to launch on BBC iPlayer later this month.
