The name Jed Mercurio is enough to make us sit up and take notice, but throw Daisy Ridley into the mix too and we are sold.<\/p>\n
The Line of Duty<\/a> creator and Star Wars actress have teamed up for a new podcast thriller called Zoetrope and in some really good news, we don\u2019t even have to wait to listen to it!<\/p>\n Zoetrope focuses on Ridley\u2019s character, Tamsin, who finds her boss dead on her bathroom floor. Tamsin pleads innocence, but a detective on the case remains suspicious.<\/p>\n Ridley has been speaking about her role in the drama and it seems that she had an amazing time working on it. \u201cWorking on Zoetrope allowed me to explore a different side to my acting. It\u2019s of course a fantastic thriller, but as with all the best dramas, punctured with moments of brilliant humour too.<\/p>\n \u201cIt meant I could add a lot of my own personality into Tamsin\u2019s character from the brilliant script by Chris Brandon, which I adored. The unique production on this series really takes the twist and turns of a Jed Mercurio thriller that his fans will love, to a much more intimate audio experience \u2013 you truly are immersed in the story.\u201d<\/p> Jed Mercurio has said of the project: \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of audio storytelling so it was an irresistible opportunity to work with Audible. I\u2019m also a huge fan of Daisy Ridley\u2019s work. Everyone involved was thrilled when Daisy agreed to join the cast and she gives a mesmerising performance across the whole series. And, lastly, it was a joy to team up once again with Chris Brandon.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Bloodlands, Chris announced himself as the most exciting new thriller writer on the block, and Zoetrope confirms that beyond doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n And Chris Brandon, writer of this project and BBC drama Bloodlands<\/a>, added: \u201cBeing asked to collaborate with Jed Mercurio and [producers] HTM again, on an Audible project with an astounding cast led by Daisy Ridley, is a true pinch-yourself moment. I have long been a fan of audio storytelling and Audible are certainly at the vanguard of making the medium a place of limitless possibility.<\/p>\n \u201cI am excited to share Zoetrope, which has been a pleasure to conspire on from the very start and has been so phenomenally brought to life by HTM. And then to top it all off, there\u2019s Daisy\u2019s performance across the series which \u2013 I won\u2019t spoil it for you \u2013 is worth the Audible membership alone.\u201d<\/p>\n Zoetrope will be available to listen to now via Audible<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out what else is on with our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>, or visit our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0hub for all the latest news and features.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n By Joe Julians Published: Thursday, 07 October 2021 at 12:00 am The name Jed Mercurio is enough to make us sit up and take notice, but throw Daisy Ridley into the mix too and we are sold.
