The series is created by Catastrophe’s Sharon Horgan and is based on Sky Arts’ short Morgana Robinson’s Summer.
Lily was first spotted filming for Dreamland in July, as she was pictured on set at the Kent seaside funfair of the same name.

A release date for the series has yet to be confirmed, but it is due to air this year on Sky Atlantic and NOW.
Alongside the clip, that Lily shared to social media, she penned: ‘OH MY GOODNESS! Dreamland, coming soon to Sky Atlantic and NOW.’
Starring alongside her in the comedy is Doctor Who’s Freema Agyeman as her eldest sister, Trish, Gabby Best as Clare and Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Lelia.
Frances Barber plays the sister’s mum, and Sheila Reid of Benidorm fame will take on the role of their Nan.
Best known as a popular singer, she was also recently nominated for an Olivier Award for her starring role in her London West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story.
