What Happens When Men Are Locked Down for Women's Protection?

Dystopian Crime Thriller ‘Curfew' on Lionsgate Play Asks the Tough Questions About Gender and Safety

Under a strict male curfew, a brutal murder shatters the fragile peace in the world of TV series 'Curfew' that is set to premiere on Lionsgate Play this 16th May.

Imagine a world where men are bound by a curfew at night for the supposed safety of women and girls. Would it be a better place? Welcome to the unsettling dystopia of Curfew, a crime thriller that dares to ask: Can safety be legislated by restricting an entire male population?

In Curfew, the Women’s Safety Act subjects men to a nightly 7 PM to 7 AM curfew, all while ankle trackers constantly surveil them. What looks like an impenetrable system is shattered when a woman is found brutally murdered outside a Women’s Safety Center. Veteran investigator Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) is immediately suspicious. Despite the curfew's airtight system, Pamela is convinced a man is the culprit. Alongside male rookie cop Eddie (Mitchell Robertson), Pamela navigates skepticism and mounting pressure as she hunts for a killer who, by all accounts, shouldn't exist.
