Karim Khan will write for upcoming Cadbury period drama, CHOCOLATE WARS, inspired by the book by Deborah Cadbury. 

“In 1860s Birmingham, when chocolate as we know it doesn’t yet exist, two very different brothers, Richard and George Cadbury, find themselves in charge of their family’s failing cocoa business. Between them, they have the radical genius and burning ambition to turn Cadbury’s into one of the world’s most beloved confectioners. But first, they must learn to trust and rely on each other. And to stop bickering for long enough to actually invent some chocolate.”

The six-part series is produced by Fable Pictures for BritBox and UKTV. Directors will be Tom McKay (After the Flood) and Jill Robertson (Ludwig) whilst Chloë Mi Lin Ewart leads the writing team, alongside Eve Hedderwick Turner and Karim Khan.
