Waiting for the Out
About Waiting for the Out
A philosopher begins teaching a class of men in prison. Each week, Dan leads discussions about dominance, freedom, luck and other topics that have troubled philosophers for thousands of years – topics that gain a new meaning when seen through the prisoners' eyes - both igniting passions and creating tension.
Waiting for the Out is a drama series made for BBC One. It has run to one season of 6 episodes since January 2026.
Josh Finan leads the cast as Dan, Stephen Wight as Lee, Phil Daniels as Frank, and Gerard Kearns as Dad. It comes from BBC and SISTER.
