Rocks writer Theresa Ikoko is creating a Channel 4 coming-of-age drama with A Discovery of Witches scribe Lisa Holdsworth about an eclectic group of dance students.
Dance School (working title) will provide 10 industry training placements to individuals with no previous TV experience.
Produce by Channel 4 Growth Fund-backed indie Duck Soup Films and inspired by true stories from inner-city Leeds, the eight-part show will follow the students as they navigate the intense highs and lows of coming-of-age in today’s complex world. Teacher Jackie heads up the Saturday class and brings together the core friendship gang and dance ensemble: Puppy, Kobby, Liam, Tim, Francesca, Tash and Nohail.
Street casting and recruitment starts in the summer and the production will shoot in the Autumn in and around Leeds.
The show has shades of Ikoko and director Sarah Gavron’s approach to BAFTA-winning Rocks, which cast young non-actors in inner-city London in what was an extensive process.

Utopia returns this July with a second series that promises to be stronger than the first. Its creative team discusses how it was made...

Read our spoiler-free thoughts on the first two episodes of Utopia's second series, here.
Woven into Utopia series one’s handsome game of chase was a genuine dilemma. The human population is fast outgrowing the planet’s resources. Can the inevitable be avoided, and at what cost?
The series two opener delves into that debate with characteristic daring and style. Without giving anything away, it’s a surprising and satisfying hour that fleshes out character and motive - arguably the only weak link in Utopia’s first run. As an hour of television, it’s violent, funny, often beautiful, and crammed with big ideas. In short it’s Utopia squared. Fans of series one will not be disappointed.

There is a really good TV show on in the UK called Utopia. The series is even better than that pile of pants Doctor Who – unthinkable, right? It’s about a small group of people who each come across a mysterious graphic novel and from thence, conspiracy hijinks ensue. It’s been successful in the UK, garnering solid ratings despite its placement in the schedules and somewhat controversial (not really) content.
Well, lucky American readers may get a great chance to see a localised version of the show, without those pesky English accents interfering with your enjoyment. HBO bought the rights to Utopia and, in an interview at the Série Series festival, director Marc Munden and producer Rebekah Wray-Rogers revealed that David Fincher is interested in directing it.
If this is truly the best of all possible worlds, then this could be Fight Club: The TV Show. With less nebulous identities and more conspiracies.

A Us remake of Utopia is reportedly in development.

The pair also expressed a wish for Looper director Rian Johnson to pen the script, according to Daily Mars.
Despite underwhelming ratings, Utopia has been renewed for a second series by Channel 4.
The conspiracy thriller's first series followed a group of people who discover the manuscript sequel of a graphic novel called The Utopia Experiments, which is rumoured to have predicted all of the last century's worst disasters.
On the run from a shadowy organisation known as 'The Network', the group fight to uncover the manuscript's mysteries in time to prevent the disasters it depicts from becoming reality.

As we patiently await David Fincher's next feature to get the pieces put in place, he's been doing just fine for the moment over in TV land. "House Of Cards," which he executive produced and directed the first two episodes for, kicked off the year by not only revolutionizing how new shows are brought to market, but by also being just a top tier political drama. Critics and audiences were both taken by it, and a second season is on the way (though Fincher may not be directing), and it seems there's another British TV show he wants to bring to American audiences. Speaking at the Série Series festival last week, director Marc Munden and producer Rebekah Wray-Rogers revealed that HBO had snapped up to the American rights to their Channel 4 series "Utopia," and that Fincher is interested in producing the remake.
