## Summary

New first-look images show Minnie Driver as hostage negotiator Sylvia “Vox” Voxley in Paramount+’s eight-part British drama The Day. The heist thriller follows police arriving during a bank robbery, after which the criminals barricade themselves inside and Voxley races to save the hostages.

Set over a single day, the series is based on the 2018 Belgian show De Dag and also stars Luca Pasqualino and Louisa Harland. Episodes shift between the perspectives of police, robbers and hostages, gradually reframing events before the finale; the series will premiere on Paramount+ in all its operating territories except Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
