Eve is a British children's science fiction series starring Poppy Lee Friar[1] that follows the adventures of a gynoid, a female android, named Eve (also known as Project Eternity) living with a family in suburbia, trying to make sense of human life as a teenage girl.[2]

Eve launched on CBBC on 5 January 2015 with its 13-episode first series occupying a Monday afternoon slot in the channel's schedule. This was later followed by special airing on Christmas Day 2015. A 12-episode second series followed in 2016. The third and final series was first confirmed by a post on Poppy Lee Friar's Instagram account and began airing on Wednesday 19 October 2016 and concluded on 8 January 2017.

Written by children's writer Emma Reeves, Eve was co-created with David Chikwe, creative director of Blacklisted Films. Emma Reeves is best known for her writing in the shows of the Tracy Beaker series.

Cast

Main

  • Poppy Lee Friar as Eve, the protagonist of the series. Eve is a newly-awakened gynoid whose appearance is based on Mary Douglas during the 1970s. In public she assumes the guise of Will's cousin from the United States. Eve is socially inept and often unaware of the many dangers she often finds herself in but with help from her adopted family she learns to pass for a human and decide her own course.
  • Oliver Woollford as Will Clarke, a teenage boy who awakened Eve and Dr. Clarke's son. He develops a strong relationship with Eve and holds a fierce desire to protect her even at the cost of his own safety though his stubbornness often brings him into conflict with his family and friends.
  • Eubha Akilade as Lily Watson, a genius teenage girl and socially awkward hacker who is Will's best friend. She also forms a close friendship with Eve and despite occasional jealousy is both fascinated by and protective of the often ignorant gynoid.
  • Rhona Croker as Dr. Katherine Calvin, the antagonist of the first season; a brilliant but highly contemptuous and ambitious scientist and manager of Calimov Systems. She usually holds Nick and his family in little regard.
