Charlie Brooker Sets New Netflix Crime Series

Netflix

“Black Mirror” series creator Charlie Brooker has revealed plans for a four-part detective crime series which is currently in production at Netflix.

The series doesn’t have a title as yet, but is said to be a “profoundly serious, stunningly original” thriller that follows a “tormented detective from the Northern city of Bleakford ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill”.

It also warns that the show contains “blood and frowning”. Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell and Lena Headey co-star in the series.

Brooker wrote the series with Ben Caudell, Jason Hazeley, Emer Kenny, Daniel Maier and Joel Morris with additional material by Victoria Asare Archer. In a statement, Brooker says:

“I’m beyond thrilled to be saying these words for the press release. I’ve dreamt of providing a quote ever since I was a young foetus, and now here I am doing it. I’d pinch myself, but like all of us, I’m terrified that if I do that, I might wake up and discover 2025 has all been a magical dream. Please watch my show. I am begging you.”

Al Campbell directs the miniseries while Brooker, Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones executive produce.
