A new thriller series starring Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman in the lead role will soon be coming to the BBC – and now further casting has been announced for the upcoming series, which is titled The Jetty.

Coleman and Glynn-Carney are also set to be joined by Bridgerton’s Ruby Stokes, Shadow and Bone’s Archie Renaux, The Serpent Queen star Laura Marcus, The Ballad of Renegade Nell’s Bo Bragason and Happy Valley star Amelia Bullmore.

The synopsis reads: “In the four-part series, a fire tears through a holiday home in a scenic Lancashire lake town.
“Detective Ember Manning must work out how it connects to a podcast journalist investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit ‘love’ triangle between a man in his twenties and two underage girls.

“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.
“As much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller, The Jetty asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory, in the places that Me Too has left behind.”
The Jetty will be available on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to see what’s on tonight.
