Filming is officially underway in Glasgow and casting has been revealed on the new series of RTS and BAFTA Award-Winning BBC and Hulu hit comedy, Dinosaur.
Made by Two Brothers Pictures (Fleabag, The Tourist) in association with All3Media International, the series is created by Matilda Curtis and Ashley Storrie and centres on Nina (Ashley Storrie), an autistic woman in her 30’s, navigating life with fierce humour and honesty.
Following the success of its debut season, the heartfelt series will see the return of the original cast alongside Ashley, including Kat Ronney, David Carlyle, Lorn Macdonald, Danny Ashok, Sally Howitt, Greg Hemphill, Sabrina Sandhu, Ben Rufus Green, Jim Kitson and Martine Brown.
