Andrew Gower, Christina Chong, Runa Ewok & Travis Beacham

Is there a new project for Andrew Gower on the horizon? Carnival Row and Impact Winter creator Travis Beacham shared this selfie on his Instagram showing Andrew alongside Christina Chong (Monroe) and her adorable dog Runa Ewok.

The caption reads:

I dunno that I can technically share why the three of us are in the same room in London, but you’re a clever bunch. I’m sure you’ll work it out.

Travis Beacham already teased that S3 of Impact Winter is in development and that he is back in London using #ImpactWinter, so could this be about a different, new project? Maybe it is connected to this post from 14 November 2023?

The hit Audible Original series from executive producers of The Walking Dead and the writer of Pacific Rim returns for its highly anticipated second season.

Six months have passed since the Vampire Queen fell silent, and the world balances on a knife’s edge. Rejoin the courageous Dunraven sisters, Darcy and Hope, as they navigate the vampire apocalypse in a sunless, endless winter that grows deadlier with each passing day. Brace yourself for a frigid realm of sacred daggers, mighty swords, secret seaside caves, unthinkable human blood farms, and a superpowered vampire villain on the hunt. Will Darcy emerge from hiding to save her sister? Will Hope venture from the castle refuge and find Darcy first? When all paths converge, everyone in Hope and Darcy’s orbit is in mortal danger, including the sisters themselves.

Dare to listen in the dark again as this thrilling saga expands to new lands, new loves, new weapons, and new warriors. Presented in Dolby Atmos spatial audio, the second season of Impact Winter is designed to haunt you like never before. Hear your heart stop.

Andrew Gower Joins Audio Drama Impact Winter

Andrew Gower‘s management recently announced his involvement with Season 2 of the best-selling audio drama Impact Winter, written by Carnival Row creator Travis Beacham.

More than a decade after a comet strike has inflicted an “impact winter” and blacked out the sun, vampires have emerged in the darkness to take over what remains of the world. Humans have fled underground, clinging to an existence that feels increasingly doomed. One vampire hunter, a young woman named Darcy, is lured from her bunker beneath an ancient castle by a powerful vampire overlord and thrust into a fight for her people’s future.

Speak: Andrew Gower on BBC Radio 4

In case you missed it the first time around, here’s another chance to listen to Philip Palmer’s audio drama Speak starring Andrew Gower and Pippa Haywood.

Lucian [Andrew Gower] has a vocabulary that is limited to a core 1500 words, but Clara [Pippa Haywood] wants to teach him those that are forbidden. A dystopian love story about the power of words, set in a near future where the language spoken is Globish – a reduced version of English. […] A gripping two-hander about the power of words; how words – and even more, the absence of words – can control, confine, leach emotion and trap minds.

The programme will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday, 17 October 2020 at 9:00pm and will be available online afterwards for 30 days.
