About the show
From FLEABAG producers Harry and Jack Williams and Daisy Haggard (EPISODES), BACK TO LIFE follows Miri Matteson (Haggard) who, after 18 years behind bars, returns home and stumbles back into adult life in the coastal town she once knew, while the mystery of her past looms large. Miri attempts to rekindle old relationships, make new ones, look for work, and readjust to life outside, while desperately waiting for the world to forget about what happened that fateful night. Guiding Miri as she tries to adapt are a cast of offbeat and intriguing characters with secrets of their own, including her sexually-frustrated mother Caroline (Geraldine James, Sherlock Holmes), her obsessive environmentalist father Oscar (Richard Durden, From Paris with Love), and her parole officer with no filter Janice (Jo Martin, Batman Begins). The series also features Miri’s first love Dom (Jamie Michie), ex-best friend Mandy (Christine Bottomley, FEARLESS), next-door neighbor Billy (Adeel Akhtar, The Big Sick), and fish and chips shop owner and new boss Nathan (Liam Williams).
