Big Finish Productions and Ian Fleming Publications have officially announced the two young actors set to lead the first full-cast audio adaptation of Charlie Higson’s Young Bond novel, SilverFin.
Isaac Rouse, who’s recognisable for his appearances in TV series including The Crown, Get Even, and Genius, and for playing Charlie Bucket in Sam Mendes’ stage adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has been cast as James Bond, the young spy whose adventures at Eton first introduced readers to Ian Fleming’s iconic spy in his formative years.
Charlotte McBurney will star as the spirited and fearless Wilder Lawless, Bond’s equestrian ally and one of the novel’s standout characters. McBurney is known for her voice work in video games including the series A Plague Tale, for which she was BAFTA-nominated, and Final Fantasy XVI.
After a nationwide search involving more than 500 applicants, the pair were selected by writer-director Barnaby Edwards and the production team to bring these beloved characters to life.
SilverFin will comprise 16 half-hour episodes across two box sets and is due for release in October 2026.
007GB Club President Mark Wooldridge recently had the opportunity to sit down with both Isaac and Charlotte to discuss stepping into the world of Young Bond, their auditions, and what listeners can expect from SilverFin.
