“California Avenue” is the new show from Hugo Blick, the brains behind some of modern TV’s most impressive dramas, including Emily Blunt starrer “The English,” “The Honourable Woman” with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michaela Coel-fronted “Black Earth Rising.”

Unsurprisingly, “California Avenue” features an equally star-studded cast in the form of Bill Nighy (“Love Actually), Helena Bonham Carter (“Fight Club”), Erin Doherty (“Adolescence”) and Tom Burke (who’s currently shooting Alex Garland’s “Elden Ring.”)
