“Shadow and Bone” star Archie Renaux and “Lockwood & Co’s” Ruby Stokes are set to join Jenna Coleman in upcoming BBC thriller “The Jetty.”
In the four-part series, from writer Cat Jones and producers Firebird Pictures (a BBC Studios label), Coleman plays Ember Manning, a rookie detective who finds herself at the center of an unusual case when a vacation home in a peaceful lake-side town in Lancashire goes up in flames. At the same time, there’s a journalist investigating a cold missing person case for a podcast while a man in his twenties is carrying out an illicit relationship between not just one but two underage girls.
As Manning investigates the fire, she finds the threads are connected but the truth has the power to destroy her life, “forcing her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the town she’s always called home,” reads the logline.
Joining Coleman, Renaux and Stokes are Laura Marcus (“Bad Education”), Bo Bragason (“The Ballad of Renegade Nell”), Amelia Bullmore (“Happy Valley”), Tom Glynn-Carney (“House of the Dragon”), Weruche Opia (“I May Destroy You”), Matthew McNulty (“The Rising”), Ralph Ineson (“Green Knight”), David Ajala (“Italian Studies”), Nina Barker-Francis (“The Flash”), Miya Ocego (“I Hate Suzie”), Elliot Cowan (“The Crown”), Shannon Watson (“H.P. Lovecraft’s Witch House”), Arthur Hughes (“Then Barbara Met Alan”) and Dominic Coleman (“Paddington”).
“I’m thrilled to have such an amazing cast join Jenna Coleman in ‘The Jetty,’” said Jones, who created and is exec producing the show. “It’s been incredibly exciting to see my characters being brought to life by such a talented group of actors.”
Marialy Rivas (“Perry Mason”) directs the series. Jones exec produces alongside Elizabeth Kilgarriff, Sarah Wyatt, Marialy Rivas, Jenna Coleman and Jo McClellan. BBC Studios are repping international sales.
