British comedy series 'The Cockfields' to feature Kim Cattrall

Actor Kim Cattrall has been roped in to star in British comedy series "The Cockfields" alongside Joe Wilkinson, Diane Morgan and Nigel Havers. The series, written by Wilkinson and David Ear, also features Sue Johnston and Bobby Ball, reported Deadline.

It is produced by Yellow Door Productions, the company set up by former Sky comedy chief Lucy Lumsden. Wilkinson plays Simon, who is taking girlfriend Donna, played by Morgan back home to the Isle of Wight for the very first time. There they will spend a long weekend as guests of his ever-doting mother Sue, played by Johnston, and controlling stepdad Ray, played by Ball. Simon's father, played by Havers, and his new American girlfriend Melissa, played by Cattrall, are also causing tensions to rise. Steve Bendelack is directing the series.
