Heat cast sitting on a picnic blanket with Danny Dyer toasting with a beer.

The Heat cast is made up of a number of familiar faces as well as some newcomers, who play two families at the heart of this intriguing new drama series.

In the four-part series, we follow ex-pats Steve and Brad, who have been best friends since their bachelor days in the UK. Since then, they moved to Australia where they met their respective wives and started families.

So far, so normal. But it quickly emerges that Steve is hiding some big secrets that could threaten to sabotage his relationships with his family and friends. These hidden truths might ruin an otherwise idealistic holiday between the two families.

The drama primarily centres on the Camerons and Fisher families. But who does everyone play and where have you seen them before?

Here's everything you need to know about the Heat cast...
