Paramount+ has ordered a new UK drama, The Crow Girl, with stars Eve Myles, Katherine Kelly and Dougray Scott now filming the six-part series in Bristol.
The contemporary psychological thriller is based on the trilogy of novels by Erik Axl Sund with Milly Thomas adapting the novel for screen.
The story begins with the gruesome discovery of a teenage boy’s body discarded in plain sight. Determined to find who is responsible, DCI Jeanette Kirkland (Myles) joins forces with psychotherapist Sophia Craven (Kelly) to hunt the killer despite opposition from her superiors including confidant DI Lou Stanley (Scott).
The investigation takes them into a dangerous world of historic abuse and murder. Together they uncover a chain of shocking events that have gone overlooked for decades, as well as evidence of police corruption. As the body count rises and the two women are dragged into the depths of the murders, an intimacy starts to form between them, and so begins a complex, twisted love story. All the while, the killer is inching ever closer to home.
Speaking about her new role in The Crow Girl, Myles said: "Jeanette is such a compelling character. As soon as I read the script, I knew I wanted to explore her story in more detail... It’s been a really terrific first few weeks on set working alongside a team of such incredibly talented people!"
The release date for 'The Crow Girl' is yet to be announced. You can purchase a subscription to Paramount+ through their website or as an add on through your Amazon Prime TV Subscription.
