Jenna Coleman and Tom Glynn-Carney in new look at The Jetty detective thriller
The upcoming drama follows events in an "eerie lakeside town" in Lancashire, where three separate events are intricately intertwined.
The BBC has released a host of new images from its upcoming detective thriller The Jetty – which stars Jenna Coleman and House of the Dragon's Tom Glynn-Carney.
The four-part series is created by Cat Jones and follows events in an "eerie lakeside town" in Lancashire, where three separate events are intricately intertwined: an arson, a missing persons cold case, and an illicit love triangle.
According to the BBC, the mystery will examine "sexual morality, age of consent, grooming, identity and memory".
It is also described as "as much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller".
It follows Coleman's character Detective Ember Manning as she investigates events when a fire tears through a property, soon bringing her into contact with a podcast journalist on the search for clues in a missing persons case and learning of an illicit 'love' triangle between a man in his 20s and two underage girls.
The synopsis continues: "But as Ember gets close to the truth, it threatens to destroy her life – forcing her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the town she’s always called home. "
In addition to Coleman and Glynn-Carney, the main cast for the series also includes Ruby Stokes (Lockwood & Co), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Weruche Opia (I May Destroy You) and Amelia Bullmore (Happy Valley) – all of whom can be seen in the new stills.
Also featuring in the new images are Bo Bragason (Renegade Nell) and Laura Marcus (The Devil's Hour), while other actors to appear in the series include Matthew McNulty (The Terror) and Ralph Ineson (The Witch).
The cast is rounded out by David Ajala (Italian Studies), Nina Barker-Francis (The Flash), Miya Ocego (I Hate Suzie), Elliot Cowan (Fifteen-Love), Shannon Watson, Arthur Hughes (Help), Dominic Coleman (Trollied) and Ruaridh Mollica (Red Rose).
Filming on the show has been completed, and it will launch later in the year on BBC iPlayer and BBC One – with an exact release date expected to be announced in due course.
