UK star, Richard Blackwood joins the ensemble cast of the new TV drama series, 'The Jacksons of Milton Keynes'.

A well known figure across film, TV and comedy in the UK. Richard Blackwood is a British actor, comedian, rapper, and presenter. Rising to fame with his 1999 TV show The Richard Blackwood Show, he built a career in stand-up, music, and acting. He is best known for roles in EastEnders, Hollyoaks, and various stage productions.

The series features a tight-knit Black British family in Milton Keynes who must confront long-simmering tensions and secrets when the matriarch's health takes a turn, testing their bonds of love and loyalty.

The TV series will work with 350 cast and crew over the two month shoot period, based on scripts written in 'The Writer's Room' which involved 8 writers from Milton Keynes.

Created and Produced by me and directed by Blessing Egbe.
