Six first look images have been released from Prime Video's upcoming new drama Fifteen-Love. set in the world of elite tennis.
Written by Hania Elkington, Prime Video's new drama Fifteen-Love is set in the world of elite tennis and explores the story of Justine Pearce, played by Ella Lily Hyland, a dynamic young sports prodigy, who had a meteoric rise in the world of Grand Slam tennis.
Aidan Turner plays Glenn Lapthorn, who was Justine’s maverick coach, with whom she shared an intense rapport. Together, they reached the semifinals of the French Open.
However, tragedy struck on the court, and Justine's dream of sporting glory was cut brutally short by a devastating injury, which resulted in a shattered wrist and the end of her professional career.
Five years on, now aged 22, Justine is a physiotherapist at her old tennis academy, Longwood, alongside her former physio. It seems like she is finally healed, both physically and psychologically, from her humiliating downfall on the global stage.
But when Justine makes an explosive allegation against her former coach, everyone at Longwood is forced to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Justine and Glenn’s past success.
Justine and Glenn’s battle over the truth of their past reaches new heights as they both seek glory at the Grand Slam grass-court event of the year, and the stately world of professional tennis is rocked by lies, deceit, and a desperate bid for control.
Examining the intense physical and mental pressures of professional sport, Fifteen-Love promises to be a gripping and sensitive exploration of trust, power, and obsession and what can be lost when you’ll do anything to win.
Produced by World Productions, Fifteen-Love also stars Anna Chancellor, Jess Darrow, Tom Varey, Lorenzo Richelmy, Manon Azem, Elizabeth Berrington, Amar Chadha-Patel, Steffan Rhodri, Maria Almeida and Harmony Rose-Bremner.
It is executive produced by writer Hania Elkington alongside Jake Lushington for World Productions, produced by Natasha Romaniuk and directed by Eva Riley and Toby MacDonald.
Fifteen-Love will air later this year on Prime Video
