Toxic Town on Netflix: Full list of cast for the British drama 

Netflix's Toxic Town is a new limited series on the streaming platform that dramatizes the true story of the Corby poisonings which began in the 1980s. The incident marked one of the biggest environmental scandals in the world, turning the small English former steel town of Corby upside down. The series brings viewers a story of community resilience in the face of institutional negligence and corruption.

Written by Jack Thorne, Toxic Town explores the story of the people who found themselves in the middle of the Corby poisonings. The Netflix series focuses on a group of mothers who waged a battle for justice, challenging their town’s council over alleged toxic waste mismanagement, and traces their fight over the years as a terrible truth comes to the surface.

The British drama miniseries, which follows the three mothers involved in the Corby toxic waste case, premieres on Netflix on February 27, 2025.
