TUNE-IN: All episodes of Reunion will be available to stream on CBC Gem in Canada beginning Friday, September 19.
The series will also premiere Friday, September 12 on streaming and on demand on Paramount+ for Premium plan subscribers before its on-air debut Sunday, September 14 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME in the US. Remaining episodes will premiere weekly.

SYNOPSIS: From Warp Films, the producers of the breakout drama Adolescence, Reunion follows Daniel Brennan (Matthew Gurney), a Deaf man returning to society after ten years in prison. Haunted by the past and driven by a need for both redemption and revenge, Brennan struggles to reconnect with his family and find his place in a world where he belongs to neither side—unable to fully integrate into the hearing community and shunned by the Deaf one. Told in British Sign Language and spoken English, this powerful revenge thriller charts Brennan’s attempt to rebuild a relationship with his estranged, now-adult daughter Carly (Lara Peake), while Christine (Anne-Marie Duff)—the wife of the man Brennan killed—searches for answers of her own. As their lives collide, Brennan must choose: give in to his thirst for vengeance, or seize the chance for a new life with his daughter.
CAST: Matthew Gurney, Lara Peake, Anne-Marie Duff, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Eddie Marsan
