What happens

This Is England '90 is a 2015 British television miniseries written by Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne and produced by Warp Films. It is the fourth and final instalment of the This Is England saga, serving as a follow-up both to the film This Is England and to the series This Is England '86 and This Is England '88. It again stars Vicky McClure, Joseph Gilgun, Thomas Turgoose, and Stephen Graham. This is England '90 was originally scheduled to release in 2012, but production was put on hold in order for Meadows to complete his documentary about reunited Manchester rock band The Stone Roses. Meadows returned to writing the script shortly thereafter, later stating that it was likely to be the final installment of the This is England series. In October 2014, Channel 4 confirmed that filming had commenced in Sheffield. This is England '90 premiered on 13 September 2015 and was a critical and commercial success, winning several awards.
