Channel 4 drama Pierre, starring award-winning actor David Harewood OBE (Sherwood, Homeland). Michele Austin (Hard Truths, This is Going to Hurt) joins the cast playing Charlotte Manners, Pierre’s joint managing partner of their solicitor’s firm, as well as Jason Flemyng (Pennyworth, Boiling Point) playing Pierre’s best friend DS Ronnie Miller.

Pierre (Harewood) is a West London duty solicitor and a force of nature: charming and funny, juggling the pressures of his job, a fragile personal life and just keeping his head above water financially.

His resilience is tested when he begins investigating the suspicious death of a young black client, Michael. As Pierre challenges the police's portrayal of Michael as a criminal, he unravels a chilling web of institutional corruption… when you come at the system, the system comes at you…

Also joining the ensemble cast is Dean-Charles Chapman (1917) as Danny Headman, Nikkita Chadha (Hijack) as Alecia Khan.

Christopher Fairbank (Andor) as Sean Lambert, Sara Powell (Last Christmas) as Celeste Jeffreys, Pierre’s wife and Cherrelle Skeete (Hanna) as Brenda Dean. The drama series will introduce newcomers Dylan Ennis as Eli Jeffreys and Ezrae Maye as Michael.

David Harewood said “I’m very excited to be embarking on this journey with such fantastic actors. There’s real warmth in the scripts and amongst the cast on Pierre and we’re all thrilled to be along for the ride.”

Pierre begins Monday 5th October at 9pm on Channel 4.
