The Blame | Preview (ITV1)
The Blame is centred around DI Emma Crane and DI Tom Radley investigating a tragic murder in the fictional town of Wakestead. They quickly identify their main suspect, but as the case progresses, an unexpected lead comes to light.
As Emma and Tom dig deeper, they uncover a web of lies, institutional cover-ups and moral compromise, which forces Emma to question the people closest to her. Part propulsive mystery, part social commentary, part love story, The Blame will tackle big questions around policing and will take an unflinching look at who we can really trust.
Leading the cast is Michelle Keegan (Fool Me Once, Brassic) as DI Emma Crane. Douglas Booth (The Sandman, The Dirt) joins as DI Tom Radley, and Ian Hart (Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, The Last Kingdom) is DCI Kenneth Walker. The Blame promises complex characters, unexpected twists and a mystery at its core.
Based on the debut novel of the same name by Charlotte Langley (The Intrusion), The Blame is a 6 x 60-minute Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios) drama for ITV. Matt Strevens (Capital, Cucumber) is the series producer, with Sara Huxley as co-producer.
The Blame begins Sunday 20th September at 9pm on ITV1.
