Also on board are Keeley Hawes, Rhys Ifans, and Phyllis Logan. The five new cast members will star opposite the already announced leads, Keira Knightley, Gugu Mbatha Raw, and Jessie Buckley.

Misbehavious follows the true events of the 1970 disrupted Miss World contest during which the newly founded Women’s Liberation Movement stormed the stage. The show was at the height of its popularity when the movement interrupted the live broadcast of the pageant, claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women.

The film is directed by BAFTA winner Philippa Lowthorpe from an original script penned by Rebecca Flynn and Gaby Chiappe. The film is produced by Suzanne Mackie and by Sarah-Jane Wheale.

Shooting is currently underway in London.

The upcoming dramedy takes place almost half a century ago, when 100 million viewers around the globe were still tuning in to watch televised beauty pageants. Miss World was at its peak back in the day, but the 1970 competition turned out to be the tipping point. The broadcast was interrupted by representatives of Women’s Liberation Movement, who invaded the stage, claiming beauty pageants such as this one demeaned women. Tensions were still running high once the broadcast resumed, since the results took everyone by surprise. Miss Grenada became the first black woman to be crowned Miss World, beating the Swedish favorite.

Misbehaviour will be directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, BAFTA-winning filmmaker known for her work on Three Girls and Call the Midwife. Gaby Chiappe and Rebecca Frayn will be credited as screenwriters.
