Noughts + Crosses season 1 recap?
Season 1 of Noughts + Crosses was based in a dystopian London. Viewers followed Sephy and Callum as they fell in love against all odds.
However, there was a catch. Their romance was forbidden because Sephy is known as a “Cross”, a group of elites, while Callum is part of the “Noughts,” London’s lower class.
In series 1 saw their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they battled to keep it hidden from society.
The first series of Noughts + Crosses concluded in an alternative way to the book. At the end of series 1, Sephy rebelled against her powerful father, Kamal Hadley, by refusing to go to university.
Before leaving her family home for good, she had a heart-to-heart with her sister where she insisted that her future is “not just about me anymore”.
Viewers were then shocked to see her later throwing up and grabbing her stomach, revealing that she was carrying Callum’s child.
Despite his best efforts, Kamal failed to keep Sephy from leaving. Kamal almost shot Callum but stopped himself when Sephy told him about the baby.
As a result, he allowed the lovers to run off together.
As the series came to an end, Sephy and Callum were seen hiding away in a remote rural location, desperate not to be found and to keep their pregnancy secret.
During the finale, fans also found out that Yaro Baloyi-Hadley was actually Kamal’s illegitimate mixed-race son.
He attempted to sell his story to the newspaper, but Kamal managed to squash the story.
His character arc ended when Kamal bought him a plane ticket to leave Albion for good. But will he return?
