Netflix has ordered a new four-part crime drama from Black Mirror creator, Charlie Brooker, starring Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell and Lena Headey.
The as-yet-untitled project is now in production. Brooker is the creator of the project and has written it along with Ben Caudell, Jason Hazeley, Emer Kenny, Daniel Maier and Joel Morris, with additional material supplied by Victoria Asare Archer.
The show could me more akin to previous Brooker comedy crime drama, A Touch of Cloth, as the logline calls it “a profoundly serious, stunningly original crime thriller in which a tormented detective from the Northern city of Bleakford ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill. Contains blood and frowning.”
Brooker, and long time producing partners Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones, are the EPs. Mark Kinsella is also on board as co-EP along with producer Richard Webb. The director is Al Campbell.
The production company on it will be Netflix itself after Charlie Brooker and his producing partner Annabel Jones resigned as directors from their Netflix-owned production company, Broke and Bones, back in July.
Said Brooker: “I’m beyond thrilled to be saying these words for the press release. I’ve dreamt of providing a quote ever since I was a young foetus, and now here I am doing it. I’d pinch myself, but like all of us, I’m terrified that if I do that, I might wake up and discover 2025 has all been a magical dream. Please
