Created by Toby Whithouse, who co-wrote the script with Sarah Dollard and Debbie O’Malley, The Game features an outstanding cast led by Tom Hughes, known for his role in Netflix’s Legends. The ensemble also includes Brian Cox, the late Paul Ritter, Shaun Dooley, Chloe Pirrie, Victoria Hamilton, and Jonathan Aris.
