Brand new BBC drama Crossfire finds Keeley Hawes in a starring role as Jo, a woman on a family and friends holiday whose world is turned upside down when gunmen attack the hotel she’s staying at.

The three-part series has been described as a “story of survival and resilience and an “edge-of-your-seat nail-biting thriller”, and will air across weeknights on BBC One.

Starring alongside Hawes are Josette Simon, Anneika Rose and Lee Ingleby, but who else stars in the series and who do they all play?
