Naylor also says that the story will not continue on from where the TV series left off. "It's a complete story unto itself" Naylor explains, "The story begins before the series started, and then goes off in a direction that the series didn't go off on. So it's set up and then has it's own story, complete in itself, whilst still being able to assemble the cast that we know and love."
