The six-part series<\/a> is not only positively intriguing, but also boasts quite the cast and behind-the-scenes team.<\/p>\n

But will she be able to get to the bottom of this case despite some tension from the locals? On top of that, Grace also has to reckon with the town\u2019s \u201ceerie past devotion to a pagan God called the Red King and the cult of the True Way\u201d.<\/p>\n

The new series is penned by Doctor Who<\/a>\u2018s Toby Whithouse<\/a> and directed by Daniel O\u2019Hara, who is known for his work on Harlan Coben\u2019s Stay Close<\/a> and The Stranger<\/a>, as well as Brassic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
