The plot is set in 1957 in Brighton and follows a police officer named Tom Burgess, played by Styles, who is secretly gay and lives in a culture where being gay is outlawed. Burgess begins dating Marion (Corrin), a schoolteacher, but has an affair with Patrick Hazelwood, a museum director (David Dawson).

Patrick’s life is thrown into chaos when he is forced to suppress his actual feelings and marries Marion. As tensions between the married pair mount, Patrick’s life is turned upside down.

My Policeman also bounces between two time periods: the 1950s, when Tom is navigating a love triangle as a teenager, and 40 years later. The troubled marriage of an elderly Tom (Linus Roache) and Marion (Gina McKee) is further complicated when she decides to take in Patrick (Rupert Everett) after he has a stroke.

Director Michael Grandage told Vanity Fair that the casting of the Don’t Worry Darling actor came about as a result of Styles’ enthusiasm for the script while reading it.

“He had read the script so many times that he knew every single beat of it at that meeting. I found that incredibly impressive,” said Grandage. “He knew other people’s lines; he knew all of his lines. He knew why he wanted to talk about it, why one scene worked this way and another worked,” he added.

Meanwhile, Harry Styles recently opened up about filming intimate scenes for his two latest projects – My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling – joking that he’s going to have to make more family-friendly movies in future: “I don’t know if you can watch either with your parents. I’m gonna have to do another one.

“It was all discussed and all of it was very kind of, ‘OK… above the filming, above everything that’s happening with the cameras, with me and you, we’re doing this together, we trust each other and at any point we can stop and all that kind of stuff.'”

My Policeman will premiere October 21 in UK cinemas and November 4 on Prime Video.
