Jenna Coleman Investigates a Lakeside Crime In 'The Jetty' Trailer
What do an arson, a missing persons cold case, and a true crime podcast have to do with one another? That's only one of the questions at the heart of the upcoming BBC crime thriller The Jetty, a four-part series that promises to explore everything from questions of sexual morality and illicit relationships to themes of identity, memory, and more.
Former Doctor Who companion Jenna Coleman makes her crime procedural debut as Detective Ember Manning, a rookie cop called in to help determine the cause of a mysterious fire at a holiday house in a picturesque Lancashire lake town. But as she investigates further, Ember stumbles upon a series of connections that threaten to unravel the threads of her own past.
One part coming-of-age story and one part twisty detective thriller, The Jetty touches on everything from arson and a missing persons case to a true crime podcast about violence against women and girls. There's even a brief hint in the trailer that Manning's own daughter is somehow at risk from some sort of unidentified threat.
