Watch James Nesbitt in the Trailer for 'Bloodlands'
The trailer for the new crime drama Bloodlands has arrived, in which The Missing star James Nesbitt plays a veteran Irish detective who must dig into his own dark past to hunt for the serial killer who murdered his wife. And - despite the fact that it's yet another drama at least partially framed around the hole a dead woman left behind - it looks rather tense and thrilling, all told.
The four-part series comes from executive producer Jed Mercurio, the man behind such recent hits as Line of Duty and Bodyguard, and features a script penned by newcomer Chris Brandon.
When a car containing a possible suicide note is pulled out of the sea, Northern Irish police detective Tom Brannick quickly connects it to an infamous cold case with enormous personal significance - a series of mysterious disappearances over 20 years ago during a dark period in Northern Ireland history. Bloodlands follows his obsessive campaign to identify and unmask the semi-mythical figure behind these events: “Goliath" - code-named after the giant Samson and Goliath shipyard cranes that dominate the Belfast skyline - in an explosive cat-and-mouse game where the stakes have never been higher.
