It follows a detective in a scenic Lancashire lake town as she tries to work out how a property fire connects to a podcast journalist investigating a missing person cold case, and an illicit relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls.<\/p>\n
Alongside Coleman, the series<\/a> also stars Archie Renaux as Hitch, another rookie detective working with Coleman\u2019s Ember Manning, and Renaux has teased just how twisting and turning the show is.<\/p>\n Renaux said: \u201cIt always keeps you guessing. It takes you down a lot of dead ends, and gets you thinking that you know all the answers \u2013 like I did when I first read the scripts \u2013 but then you\u2019ll be taken somewhere completely new and realise you\u2019ve been fooled.\u201d<\/p>\n Other stars set to feature in the drama include House of the Dragon<\/a>\u2018s Tom Glynn-Carney, as well as Ruby Stokes, Laura Marcus, Bo Bragason, Weruche Opia, Amelia Bullmore, Matthew McNulty and Ralph Ineson.<\/p>\n Elizabeth Kilgarriff, executive producer for production company Firebird Pictures, also pointed to the unique nature of the show, highlighting its thematic explorations alongside its crime genre trappings.<\/p>\n Kilgarriff\u00a0said: \u201cOn the surface The Jetty has all of the really enjoyable delicious things of a crime show. But essentially it\u2019s a really clever, interesting portrayal of a woman dealing with grief and having to reassess her life up until now.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m always looking for a piece that is one thing on the surface but then is also giving you something else, so it feels properly distinctive, and that\u2019s what Cat\u2019s idea did.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is about sexual morality, consent, coming of age, grooming, identity and relationships but it wears all of those things very lightly in the sense that it\u2019s also just a really interesting story set in a community where various things that have happened connect very cleverly together.<\/p>\n \u201cI also think thematically what it looks at, and what Cat wanted to explore, is how much has changed in the last 20 years in terms of women, misogyny and how much things have been buried beneath the surface.<\/p>\n \u201cCat has written a series, in a way, that allows you to look at what life was like for teenage girls 20 years ago versus now.\u201d<\/p> The Jetty will be available on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 15th July 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight. <\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0<\/strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n “It takes you down a lot of dead ends, and gets you thinking that you know all the answers.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":54783,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-scaled.jpg",2560,1706,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/the-jetty-star-says-viewers-will-be-fooled-by-direction-it-takes-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"\"It takes you down a lot of dead ends, and gets you thinking that you know all the answers.\"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/54782"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Archie](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/481799-1d379ab.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"481799,The")
