Eve Myles & Katherine Kelly to Lead Serial Killer Drama 'The Crow Girl'

Strange things are afoot at Paramount+'s U.K. division. Besides the ongoing drama surrounding the potential (likely?) sale of its parent company, the international arm has been steadily cleaning house, slimming down its workforce, essentially abandoning much of its in-progress slate, and even going so far as removing multiple series from the U.K. version of the service. Many of these series, including The Killing Kind, The Serial Killer's Wife, The Castaways, and One Night, never even made it to American shores, and the ones that did were burned off on secondary streaming platforms like The Roku Channel (The Burning Girls) and Amazon Freevee (The Flatshare). So, it might surprise some folks to learn that, despite all this, the streamer is still somehow greenlighting new content, including the forthcoming Curfew starring Doctor Who alum Mandip Gill.

Paramount+ has also commissioned The Crow Girl from Buccaneer Media, a notable choice given that this is the same producer that saw its period thriller The Doll Factory canceled back in February. (No hard feelings, I guess?)

Based on the trilogy of novels by Erik Axl Sund (the pen name of Swedish writing duo Håkan Axlander Sundquist and Jerker Eriksson), the story follows a pair of women who join forces to investigate the murder of a teenage boy whose body is found discarded in plain sight.
