Lonely Planet

New ReleasesBig Finish Special Releases

What if we’re more than just human? This thrilling sci-fi adventure begins with the phrase “Lonely No More” appearing across the globe, followed by dormant alien DNA being awoken inside the Earth’s population. Well, most of them. 

Those left behind, who become known as ‘the Lonely’, must adapt quickly to a very changed world. Nina (Olivia VinallRoadkill, The Woman in White) is a doctor determined to find the truth about what has happened, while her fiancé Nikesh (Gavi Singh CheraLord of The Rings: The Rings of Power) is more interested in ways to take advantage of the new world. 

Exploring this world from multiple perspectives, Lonely No More also stars Matthew Gravelle (Broadchurch, Steeltown Murders, Keeping Faith, Hinterland), Gareth Pierce (Coronation Street), Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Peaky Blinders, Skins), Gwyneth Keyworth (Alex Rider) and Iestyn Jones (Keeping Faith, Pobol y Cwm). It is written by Sebastian Baczkiewicz (Home Front, Pilgrim) and directed by Jessica Dromgoole

All eight episodes of Lonely No More are now available to purchase as a digital download to own for just £10.99, from www.bigfinish.com

It’s just a message, right? 

Daubed on walls, trending on socials, appearing in every language in every country all over the world and always reading the same. Nobody knows where it originated, only that it can’t be ignored. And then – in the blink of an eye – everything changes. Activated alien DNA, long buried within each and every one of us, transforms the majority of the human race. Cities are abandoned. Civilisation discarded. Suddenly, we’re not humans anymore, we’re… Lonely No More. 

Or most of us are… 

For those still unactivated and “lonely”, it’s now about learning to survive in the ruins of an unwanted and terrifying world. 

See, the apocalypse isn’t coming, it’s already here. 

Writer Sebastian Baczkiewicz said: “The human race transforming from within from long-buried alien DNA is an idea I’ve had for some time. Happily, after glancing at manga backgrounds of deserted cityscapes and abandoned alleys bestrewn with telegraph poles, I began to populate those spaces with an entirely unprepared population unconscious of what lies within most of them. 

“The production was a joy to make; the amazing cast and sound design and inspired direction were all I could have wished for and more. I’m blessed to see this bold and ambitious concept brought to life with such passion and dedication. I hope you enjoy it.” 

The ensemble cast also includes Michael Bertenshaw, Claire Cage, Patrick Kennedy, Jonathan McGuiness, Nay Murphy, Luke Newberry, Kimberley Nixon, Bhasker Patel, Sid Sagar, Joe Sims, Edita Sllamniku, Matthew Tennyson, Eiry Thomas, Joe Thomas, Leo Wan, Saskia West, and James Wilson
