Meet the cast of Save Me
You'll find some familiar faces down at local pub The Palm Tree in South East London
Lennie James and Suranne Jones lead the cast of this tense six-part Sky Atlantic thriller. A teenage girl has gone missing – and the mission to find her draws in her frantic mother, her estranged birth father, her adoptive family, and the population of an East London estate. What has happened to Jody?
Here are the characters you need to meet – and where you've seen the actors before:
