Deadline reports that Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) has been cast as Joseph Merrick, also known as the Elephant Man in BBC One’s The Elephant Man.
The two-part drama was ordered by Piers Wenger of BBC Drama and Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content.
The drama will consist of two 90 minutes parts that will cover the course of Joseph Merrick’s short, but incredible life.
This will also shine a light on the beginnings of the development of the physical deformities and his transformation into the titular Elephant Man.
