Paramount+ has ordered a new UK drama, The Crow Girl, with stars Eve Myles, Katherine Kelly and Dougray Scott now filming the six-part series in Bristol.

From Buccaneer (Crime, Marcella), the contemporary psychological thriller is based on the trilogy of novels by Erik Axl Sund.

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 Kirkland (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 cast also includes Clara Rugaard as Victoria Burkeman, Victoria Hamilton as Superintendent Verity Pound, Elliot Edusah is DC Mike Dilliston, Chloe Sweetlove plays Madeleine Burkeman and Lee Boardman is David White.

Tony Wood and Richard Tulk-Hart are executive producers for Buccaneer along with Milly Thomas, who adapted the series for the screen. Charles Martin and Rebecca Rycroft both direct, with Andy Mosse as producer. ITV Studios will distribute The Crow Girl internationally.
