April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union suffered a massive explosion.\n\nWhat followed resulted in multiple horrendous deaths as the result of radiation poisoning and a national cover-up of the world’s worst man-made accident in history.\n\nIn this gripping five-part miniseries, *Chernobyl* tracks the moment of the early-morning explosion through to the chaos and loss of life in the ensuing days, weeks, and months.\n\nIt delves into the lives involved in the disaster, what caused it, and the first responders who risked their lives to save who they could.\n\nBased in the Soviet Union, the story is based on the book *Voices of Chernobyl* by Svetlana Alexievich, a Nobel laureate who collated the tales of Chernobyl locals and their experience of the disaster.\n\nThe series launched in 2019 to international acclaim for its depiction of this real-life event.\n## Watch the trailer\n### **Who stars in *Chernobyl* and where have we seen them

What followed resulted in multiple horrendous deaths as the result of radiation poisoning and a national cover-up of the world’s worst man-made accident in history. In this gripping five-part miniseries, Chernobyl tracks the moment of the early-morning explosion through to the chaos and loss of life in the ensuing days, weeks, and months. It delves into the lives involved in the disaster, what caused it, and the first responders who risked their lives to save who they could. Based in the Soviet Union, the story is based on the book Voices of Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich, a Nobel laureate who collated the tales of Chernobyl locals and their experience of the disaster. The series launched in 2019 to international acclaim for its depiction of this real-life event. ## Watch the trailer ### *Who stars in Chernobyl* and where have we seen them before? - Jessie Buckley** (Wicked Little Letters, Fargo) as Lyudmilla Ignatenko - Jared Harris (The Crown, Mad Men) as Valery Legasov - Stellan Skarsgård (Good Will Hunting, Nymphomaniac) as Boris Shcherbina - Emily Watson (Gosford Park, Red Dragon) as Ulana Khomyuk - Paul Ritter (Friday Night Dinner, Quantum of Solace) as Anatoly Dyatlov - Adam Nagaitis (The Terror, The Commuter) as Vasily Ignatenko - Con O'Neill (Our Flag Means Death, Happy Valley) as Viktor Bryukhanov - Adrian Rawlins (Breaking The Waves, Mary And George) as Nikolai Fomin - Sam Troughton (The Lazarus Project, Litvinenko) as Aleksandr Akimov - Robert Emms (Andor, His Dark Materials) as Leonid Toptunov - Karl Davies (Happy Valley, The Tower) as Viktor Proskuryakov - Alex Ferns (The Batman, EastEnders) as Andrei Glukhov - Ralph Ineson (The Jetty, The Witch) as Nikolai Tarakanov - Barry Keoghan (Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn) as Pavel Gremov - Michael McElhatton (Game of Thrones, The Long Shadow) as Andrei Stepashin Find out more about the cast and the characters they play [here](https://www.sky.com/watch/chernobyl/cast-and-characters). ### *How many episodes of Chernobyl* are there?** Chernobyl runs for five episodes, each running between 60 to 70 minutes long.
