Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan , Irish actor Aidan Turner and The Thursday Murder Club star Dame Helen Mirren are to appear in a series of National Theatre (NT) Live cinema shows in 2026.

The shows, captured in front of a live audience in London, will be screened in cinemas across the UK, with tickets going on sale from today.

Returning to cinemas on February 26 for the first time in over a decade, Dame Helen stars as Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award-winning production The Audience, which Netflix royal drama The Crown was based on.

From May 28, cinema audiences can watch Coughlan star alongside Saipan star Eanna Hardwicke and Derry Girls actress Siobhan McSweeney in John Millington Synge’s The Playboy Of The Western World, directed by Caitriona McLaughlin.
