Dreamland: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Dreamland is about secrets, lies, loves and aspirations within a family of four sisters. Set in the sun-drenched British seaside town of Margate, it is a dark comedic exploration of multi-generational female relationships, and their (somewhat dysfunctional) family dynamics.

Eldest sister Trish is pregnant for the third time with her partner Spence. And this time, she's decided: it's going to be a girl. Her two sisters Clare and Leila rally around her with their mum and their Margate- legend nan, "manifesting" a little girl at Trish's ‘mani-festival'. But when their other sister, Mel, makes an unexpected reappearance back into their lives, her return threatens to destabilise the entire family. A knock on their door and their ‘Dreamland' is no more...
