Tamsin Egerton (“Love, Rosie,” “St. Trinian’s”) and Trevor Eve (“A Discovery of Witches) are set to star in “The Golden Valley,” a half-hour comedy drama series.

The show, created by Jack Eve, centers on the eccentric

and tony Sterling family as they face losing the family farm, in the vein of other riches-to-rags comedies such as “Amandaland” and “Schitt’s Creek.”

As well as Egerton as Cherie and Trevor Eve as Anton, the series will also star Greta Bellamacina, fresh from her turn in Florian Zeller’s likely Venice-bound “Bunker,” as Masha as well as Lily Robinson (“Minamata”) as Vera, Sharon Maughan (“She’s Out of My League”) as Skyla, Hart Eve as Hal and Robert Montgomery as Konstantin. Jack Eve, who wrote and directed the series, will also appear as Alexei.

The logline reads: “The Sterlings are losing their family farm, so they do the only thing they know how: put on a show” while Jack Eve describes it as “a mockumentary about a family performing their way through bankruptcy.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with this group of actors and creatives to make this pilot, which we shot on the beautiful Welsh Borders, and I’m very much looking forward to developing the series further,” Eve tells Variety.

The series, which is set to be between 6 to 8 episodes for the first season, is currently in development with Eve’s Ecce Pictures producing. A pilot has been shot, which Variety understands is now being shopped.

Independent Talent co-chair Duncan Heath is repping the series.
