The series is described as a profoundly serious, stunningly original crime thriller in which a tormented detective from the Northern city of Bleakford ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill. Contains blood and frowning.
Though little else is known about the project the streamer has confirmed that Paddy Considine (Mobland), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) and Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) are set to star.
Charlie Brooker says: “I’m beyond thrilled to be saying these words for the press release. I’ve dreamt of providing a quote ever since I was a young foetus, and now here I am doing it. I’d pinch myself, but like all of us, I’m terrified that if I do that, I might wake up and discover 2025 has all been a magical dream. Please watch my show. I am begging you.”
The series is written by Brooker with Ben Caudell, Jason Hazeley, Emer Kenny, Dan Maier and Joel Morris. With additional material by Victoria Asare Archer. Joining Brooker as an executive producer are Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones. Mark Kinsella co-executive produces and Al Campbell directs.
