We look at all you need to know about the new show...
You and Me cast
The cast of You and Me includes Harry Lawtey as Ben who has his life turned upside down when he meets Jess (Sophia Brown). But their happiness is tainted by tragedy and they question how can they lead normal lives after everything they've been through.
Ben also meets Emma (Jessica Barden) who has a painful past herself. The lead stars are joined by former Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh as Ben's mum Linda, Lily Newmark as Emma's sister Joey, Genesis Lynea as Dee, Andi Osho as Jess' mum Pam, Dominic Mafham as Jeremy, and Janie Dee as Emma's mum Hannah.
Speaking about the storyline, its creator Jamie explained, "You & Me is about a young guy called Ben (Harry Lawtey) who lives in London. In the first scene, he meets a young woman called Jess (Sophia Brown) and they fall in love, then an extraordinary thing happens in his life that changes everything.
"We see Ben’s life across two timelines, the Now and the Then, and eventually the two timelines meet. We’re telling a love story in a way you’ve never seen a love story told before."
