Films So Good

The BBC has unveiled new pictures from the upcoming crime drama The Jetty, providing a closer look at the complex characters in an eerie lakeside town where arson, a missing persons cold case, and a secretive love triangle are intricately connected. Written by Cat Jones and produced by Firebird Pictures, this four-part mystery series for BBC iPlayer and BBC One delves into themes of sexual morality, age of consent, grooming, identity, and memory

Plot

A large fire destroys a holiday home in a scenic Lancashire lake town. The protagonist, Ember Manning, a rookie detective, searches the connection between this fire, a journalist’s podcast on a cold case of a missing person, and an illicit ‘love’ triangle involving a young man and two underage girls. However, as Ember approaches the truth, it endangers her life, forcing her to reconsider everything she believed about her past, present, and the town she has always regarded as home.

Alongside Jenna Coleman, the cast also features Tom Glynn-Carney from “House of the Dragon,” where he portrays Prince Aegon Targaryen in the acclaimed HBO fantasy series. Other notable cast members include Archie Renaux (“The Greatest Beer Run”), Laura Marcus (“The Great Escaper”), Bo Bragason (“The Ballad of Renegade Nell”), Amelia Bullmore (“Happy Valley”), Ruby Stokes (“Lockwood & Co”), and Ralph Ineson (“The Witch”).

Filming has wrapped and the series will launch soon on BBC iPlayer and BBC One
