Sky today announces its new festive original film ‘THIS CHRISTMAS’ and unwraps its’ First Look image.  Producers Vertigo Films have just completed principal photography, and the feel-good romantic comedy will premiere on Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW in December.

Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter, Foundation) and Kaya Scodelario (Maze Runner, Resident Evil) lead an all-star cast including Timothy Spall (Mr Turner, Spencer), Jack Donoghue (Gangs Of London), Jeremy Irvine (War Horse, Mamma Mia), Alexandra Roach (Killing Eve, Black Mirror), Ben Miller (Paddington 2, Johnny English), Joanna Scanlan (After Love, The Thick Of It) Sarah Niles (I May Destroy You, Ted Lasso), Nadia Parkes (Half Bad, Doctor Who), Clinton Liberty (Normal People, Red Election) and Robert Emms (Andor, Chernobyl, Four Lives).

Set in London during the busy yuletide season, ‘THIS CHRISTMAS’ follows Adam (Enoch) and Emma (Scodelario) on their daily commute from the picture-perfect village of Langton to London, meeting the same passengers every day. Until, one morning, Adam takes it upon himself to break the unspoken taboo of talking to strangers on a train and invites the whole carriage to hold their own Christmas party…
