Inspired by the beloved memoirs of Gerald Durrell, The Durrells in Corfu features Hawes as Louisa Durrell, the harried widowed mother of a brood of recalcitrant children. Louisa moves the floundering family from England to Corfu in the mid 1930s to recharge their lives—hers included.

 

Milo Parker plays Gerry, the wildlife-obsessed youngest, who later penned his reminiscences of the family’s unusual exploits. Daisy Waterstone is the man-mad teen, Margo, this season trying to kindle romance with a monk. Callum Woodhouse is the hunter-turned-distiller-turned-fashion-photographer, Leslie. And Josh O'Connor is literary Larry, who in real life went on to make a name for himself as the bohemian novelist Lawrence Durrell.
