Bobby Brazier’s career is on the rise as he secures a significant role in Paramount Plus drama Curfew, marking a major milestone just weeks after his return to EastEnders was confirmed. Best known for portraying Freddie Slater in the long-running soap, Bobby took a hiatus last year to compete in Strictly Come Dancing 2023, and now he’s gearing up for an exciting new venture.
In Curfew, Bobby joins an ensemble cast that includes EastEnders veterans Anita Dobson, Lucy Benjamin, and Larry Lamb, known for their iconic roles as Angie Watts, Lisa Fowler, and Archie Mitchell, respectively. The series, based on Jayne Cowie’s novel After Dark, explores a dystopian society where men are subjected to strict curfew regulations under “The Women’s Safety Act,” triggering a chain of events following a woman’s murder during curfew hours.
In this gripping narrative, Bobby portrays James, a schoolboy who vehemently opposes the stringent rules imposed on society. His character, James, brings a fresh perspective to the storyline, adding depth and complexity to the narrative dynamics.
Alongside his esteemed co-stars, including Lucy Benjamin as DCI Sue Ferguson and Larry Lamb as Rhys Holden, Bobby’s portrayal of James promises to captivate audiences with its authenticity and conviction. Additionally, Anita Dobson’s portrayal of Janet, a refuge operator for women seeking sanctuary from male-dominated spaces, adds further dimension to the ensemble cast.
Bobby’s return to EastEnders last year was marked by his character Freddie’s dramatic exit storyline, where he intervened to protect his cousin Stacey Slater from a potential assault. As his character’s journey on the soap unfolded, Bobby demonstrated his versatility as an actor, laying the groundwork for his subsequent ventures in the entertainment industry.
With Curfew poised to offer a compelling exploration of societal norms and gender dynamics, Bobby’s involvement underscores his commitment to portraying diverse and thought-provoking roles. As audiences eagerly anticipate the series premiere, Bobby’s performance in Curfew is poised to solidify his status as a rising star in the television landscape.
