Fans of Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley star Sarah Lancashire, rejoice! You can now catch this wildly talented actress in the new Hulu mini-series National Treasure: Kiri. (And before you ask, it has nothing to do with Nicolas Cage on a American history scavenger hunt.)

This much buzzed about contemporary crime/mystery aired on Channel 4 in the UK back in January of this year, becoming that network's most watched drama series ever. It was penned by Jack Thorne, writer of the This Is England mini-series, the film Wonder and the play Harry Potter and and the Cursed Child. It is directed by Euros Lyn, whose credits include Broadchurch, Doctor Who and Last Tango in Halifax.

Centered around the abduction and murder of Kiri (Felicia Mukasa), a young black girl in the foster care system, the four-episode mini-series examines the factors of race and family relationships in the aftermath of these tragic events.
