The Cadburys: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The Cadburys is a warm-hearted family drama following the visionary Cadbury family, the underdogs of the cocoa world, on their journey towards creating the world-famous Cadbury's chocolate bar.

In 1860s Birmingham, when chocolate as we know it doesn't yet exist, two very different brothers, Richard and George Cadbury, find themselves in charge of their family's failing cocoa business. Between them, they have the radical genius and burning ambition to turn Cadbury's into one of the world's most beloved confectioners. But first, they must learn to trust and rely on each other. And to stop bickering for long enough to actually invent some chocolate! Their sister Maria is navigating her own role within the family and the business, but things become even more complicated when she falls in love with Cadbury's biggest rival, and is forced to question where her true loyalties really lie. Infused with historical delights and magical invention, The Cadburys is about how we build, break and rebuild the bonds of family - and how the sweetest things in life are rarely simple.
