BBC recently released new first-look images for Jenna Coleman‘s four-part thriller series The Jetty. Written and created by Cat Jones, the upcoming series will attempt to examine sexual morality, age of consent, grooming, identity, and memory. While the series will be a crime thriller, it is also described as a coming-of-age story.
The Jetty follows the story of Detective Ember Manning as she tries to investigate an arson case in her scenic lake town. She soon discovers a connection between the case and a podcast journalist investigating a missing persons case, and she also comes across an illicit ‘love’ triangle between an adult man and two underage girls. As Embers digs deeper into the case, she discovers some deeply hidden secrets that could destroy her life and how she perceives her hometown.
The Jetty stars Coleman, Ralph Ineson, David Ajala, Nina Barker-Francis, Miya Ocego, Elliot Cowan, Shannon Watson, Arthur Hughes, Dominic Coleman, and Ruaridh Mollics. The BBC series is directed by Marialy Rivas and produced by Natasha Romaniuk, with Elizabeth Kilgarriff, Jones, Sarah Wyatt, Rivas, Coleman, and Jo McClellan serving as executive producers.
The filming has wrapped on the series, and it is supposed to premiere soon in the U.K., while a U.S. release date has still not been announced. Check out the rest of the first-look images:
