David Tennant, Dolly Wells and Lydia West will lead the cast of Stephen Moffat’s new thriller Inside Man, alongside Stanley Tucci in the title role.
Produced by Hartswood Films for BBC One and Netflix, Inside Man will be directed by Paul McGuigan (Sherlock; Dracula; Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool).
The four part mini-series follows a prisoner on death row in the US, a Vicar in a quiet English town, and a maths teacher trapped in a cellar, as they cross paths in the most unexpected way.
Husband and wife team Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue, executive producer for Hartswood Films, said: “We’re a bit stunned, and very excited, at the acting talent we’re managing to assemble for this show. Can’t wait to crawl out of our lockdown bunker and get to work.”
Inside Man is a 4×60 drama for BBC One and Netflix. It is created and written by Steven Moffat, directed by Paul McGuigan, with Alex Mercer as producer.
Executive producers are Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films and Ben Irving for the BBC. Chris Sussman will oversee for Netflix. It was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer, and Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama.
BBC Studios are the international distributors and brokered the deal with Netflix.
The series will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK, and on Netflix outside of the UK and Ireland. Filming will take place later this year.
