One initial image released by the channel sees Barnard\u2019s character Ryan looking steely into the distance, while another sees Watkins\u2019s Ed comforting his daughter Abbie, played by Gilbert. A third image sees Ryan and Abbie looking into each other\u2019s eyes in front of a stunning rural backdrop.<\/p>\n
The upcoming series is a psychological thriller, which sees local fisherman Ed\u2019s life spiralling out of control, after Ryan enters Abbie\u2019s life and threatens to take her away from him.<\/p>\n
Ed determines to discover the truth about Ryan before it\u2019s too late, but a dark secret from his own past and his own obsession means he risks losing everything.<\/p>\n

The new drama was first announced in July of this year<\/a>, and is based on\u00a0the novel by TM Logan<\/a>. This is the second of Logan\u2019s books that the channel has adapted, after The Holiday<\/a> was released in March 2022.<\/p>\n When the series was first announced, McDonald & Dodds<\/a> star Watkins said: \u201cI\u2019ve always loved thrillers on screen and The Catch has all the ingredients to keep audiences hooked. Three-dimensional characters, a family unit under stress, with a tragedy at the heart \u2013 all brilliantly framed in the thriller genre.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m always looking for parts I may not have played before and Ed is a person in extremis, trying to do what\u2019s best. Failing and succeeding in equal measure. It\u2019s great to play a character so buffeted by events.\u201d<\/p> Meanwhile, Peaky Blinders<\/a>\u2018 Barnard said: \u201cI am extremely looking forward to working on The Catch, there is such a wonderful group of talented people making this drama thriller.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so great to work in a calm environment with people who love story telling as much as I do. The script has a wonderful intensity which will deliver a gripping drama for audiences. The cast has a very close chemistry, which I hope delivers on the screen.\u201d<\/p>\n The Catch is coming to Channel 5 in the new year.
