The Jetty: Release date, cast, plot and trailer for BBC detective thriller
Jenna Coleman leads the cast.
Jenna Coleman will soon be back on our screens as Detective Ember Manning in The Jetty, a BBC series that's "as much of a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller".
Across the four episodes, creator and writer Cat Jones "asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory in the places that Me Too has left behind".
Speaking about the project, Coleman said: "Working with the BBC and Firebird Pictures on bringing the complex and enigmatic character of Ember Manning to life has been an incredible experience.
"I can't wait for everyone to meet this new heroine and to find out what's lurking beneath the surface of The Jetty."

The Jetty plot: What's it about?
After a property in a scenic Lancashire lake town is destroyed by a fire, Jenna Coleman's Detective Ember Manning draws a connection between a "podcast journalist investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls".
But as Manning hurtles towards 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".
