Golda Rosheuvel, Nick Frost, Jeremy Swift, Tim McInnerny and Jane Horrocks lead the cast of Sky Original feature Grow which has commenced principal photography in Scotland.
Rosheuvel, best known for Dune and Bridgerton, stars in the family comedy as a curmudgeonly farmer of a pumpkin farm who takes in her newly discovered niece from an orphanage. When the annual pumpkin-growing contest is sabotaged, the farmer learns to nurture her pumpkin as much as her relationship with her niece.
Grow is produced by New York-based outfit Double Nickel Entertainment, who have a partnership with Sky, in association with Sky and LA’s Orogen Entertainment. Blazing Griffin also produces while Zertex Media and Pont Neuf Productions co-produce. Executive producers include GFM Film Sales, who are handling international sales; Screen Scotland and Foundry.
