An adaptation from Erik Axl Sund’s international best-selling novel of the same name, The Crow Girl is a nail-biting, twisted and contemporary psychological thriller. The six-part series is produced by Emmy-winning creative team Buccaneer (Irvine Welsh’s Crime, Marcella) and stars Eve Myles, Katherine Kelly and Dougray Scott.
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 Kilburn (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.
The Crow Girl streams exclusively on Paramount+ UK from Thursday 16th January.
