Netflix announce new detective drama from Charlie Brooker

It'll star Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell and Lena Heady.

Netflix has today announced a new four-part crime thriller from Charlie Brooker, which is yet to be given a title but will star Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell and Lena Heady.

The Untitled Charlie Brooker Project, is now in production and is being described as a profoundly serious, stunningly original crime thriller, in which a tormented detective from the Northern city of Bleakford ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill. Contains blood and frowning.

It'll be written by Charlie Brooker with Ben Caudell, Jason Hazeley, Emer Kenny, Dan Maier and Joel Morris and additional material by Victoria Asare Archer.

The Untitled Charlie Brooker Project will be produced by Richard Webb, directed by Al Campbell and executive produced by Charlie Brooker, Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones and co-executive produced by Mark Kinsella.

Speaking ahead of his new series, Charlie Brooker said "I’m beyond thrilled to be saying these words for the press release. I’ve dreamt of providing a quote ever since I was a young foetus, and now here I am doing it. I’d pinch myself, but like all of us, I’m terrified that if I do that, I might wake up and discover 2025 has all been a magical dream. Please watch my show. I am begging you."

The Untitled Charlie Brooker Project will air on Netflix
