The BBC has released a trailer for Jenna Coleman-led detective thriller ‘The Jetty’ which premieres this July on BBC One and iPlayer.
Coleman stars as Detective Ember Manning, who investigates a case that threatens to unravel the threads of her past. When a fire tears through a property in a scenic Lancashire lake town, Detective Manning must work out how it connects to a podcast journalist investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls. But as Ember gets close to the truth, it threatens 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.
Created and written by Cat Jones and produced by Firebird Pictures for the BBC, the four-part mystery examines sexual morality, age of consent, grooming, identity and memory. As much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller, The Jetty asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory, in the places that ‘Me Too’ has left behind.
Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who, The Cry, The Serpent) is joined across the series by Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon, SAS Rogue Heroes, Dunkirk), Ruby Stokes (Lockwood & Co., Rocks, Una), Archie Renaux (The Greatest Beer Run, Shadow and Bone, Romulus), Laura Marcus (The Great Escaper, Bad Education, The Serpent Queen), Bo Bragason (The Ballad of Renegade Nell, The Radleys), Weruche Opia (High Desert, Slumberland, I May Destroy You), Amelia Bullmore (Happy Valley, The Larkins, Scott and Bailey), Matthew McNulty (The Rising, Domina, The Terror), Ralph Ineson (Nosferatu, The Witch, Green Knight), David Ajala (Star Trek: Discovery, Supergirl), Nina Barker-Francis (The Flash), Miya Ocego (Wreck, I Hate Suzie), Elliot Cowan (Fifteen-Love, The Crown), Shannon Watson, Arthur Hughes (Then Barbara Met Alan, Help), Dominic Coleman (Paddington, Trollied) and Ruaridh Mollica (Sebastian, Red Rose).
The four-episode-hour-long series is made by Firebird Pictures, one of BBC Studios’ owned production labels. It was created and written by Cat Jones, directed by Marialy Rivas (Young & Wild, Perry Mason, Princesita), and produced by Natasha Romaniuk. The executive producers are Elizabeth Kilgarriff, Cat Jones, Sarah Wyatt, Marialy Rivas, Jenna Coleman and Jo McClellan for the BBC. BBC Studios are the international distributors of the series.
‘The Jetty’ premieres Monday, 15th July 2024 on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK.
