Crossfire: Release date, cast and news for Keeley Hawes thriller
The new three-part series airs on BBC One this month.
Keeley Hawes' big new series for BBC One is Crossfire, a BBC thriller telling the story of a woman on a family holiday whose life gets turned upside down when gunmen suddenly open fire.
The series comes from the makers of The Responder and The Salisbury Poisonings, and co-stars Josette Simon, Anneika Rose and Lee Ingleby.
Hawes has already appeared in The Midwich Cuckoos so far this year, and has both Stonehouse and Orphan Black: Echoes on the way, with Crossfire looking to be a thrilling and tense addition to that list.

What is Crossfire about?
The official synopsis for Crossfire says: "Sunbathing on her hotel room balcony while on a dream holiday with her family and friends, Jo’s (Keeley Hawes) world is turned upside down when shots ring out across the complex. Gunmen, out for revenge, have, in an instant, turned a slice of paradise into a terrifying heart-breaking hell.
"A story of survival and resilience, Crossfire is an edge-of-your-seat nail-biting thriller yet also emotional, intimate and relatable. With the unsuspecting holidaymakers and hotel staff forced to make monumental split-second life or death decisions, the consequences will linger long after the final shots are fired."
