BBC lands at The Jetty
TRAILER: Take a look at The Jetty, the BBC drama starring Jenna Coleman that will launch on July 15.
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.
Coleman plays Detective Ember Manning, as she 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, Ember 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.
The series also stars Tom Glynn-Carney, Ruby Stokes, Archie Renaux, Laura Marcus, Bo Bragason, Weruche Opia and Amelia Bullmore, with Matthew McNulty, Ralph Ineson, David Ajala, Nina Barker-Francis, Miya Ocego, Elliot Cowan, Shannon Watson, Arthur Hughes, Dominic Coleman and Ruaridh Mollica.
