Black Mirror creator pens detective series starring Lena Heady and Paddy Considine
Netflix has ordered its next project from Black Mirror creator and showrunner Charlie Brooker, a serial killer crime drama.
The four-part untitled series, which is now in production, will revolve around a tormented detective from a fictional northern city called Bleakford, who ventures to London to catch a serial killer.
The Netflix-produced series will star English talent including Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey, MobLand’s Paddy Considine, and Georgina Campbell (Murdered by My Boyfriend).
It is created and written by Brooker with Cunk On… writers Ben Caudell and Jason Hazeley, Emer Kenny (Karen Pirie), Dan Maier and Joel Morris (That Mitchell and Webb Look). The series will have additional material by Victoria Asare Archer (Missing You).
Brooker will also executive produce the title alongside Jessica Rhoades and Broke & Bones partner Annabel Jones, who have jointly worked on Black Mirror. The co-executive producer is Mark Kinsella, the producer is Richard Webb, and the director is Al Campbell.
Brooker quipped: “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 watch my show. I am begging you.”
