Paddy Considine, Lena Headey to star in Netflix crime drama from ‘Black Mirror’ creator Charlie Brooker

Paddy Considine and Lena Headey have signed on to star in a new, as-yet-untitled crime drama for Netflix from ‘Black Mirror’ creator Charlie Booker.  Georgina Campbell will co-star in the four-part series, which is already in production.

Netflix posted on X: “Announcing UNTITLED CHARLIE BROOKER PROJECT. A profoundly serious four-part crime thriller in which a tormented northern detective ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill. Contains blood and frowning. @charltonbrooker”

Series creator Brooker shared in a statement: “I’m beyond thrilled to be saying these words for the press release. I’ve dreamt of providing a quote ever since I was a young foetus, and now here I am doing it. I’d pinch myself, but like all of us, I’m terrified that if I do that, I might wake up and discover 2025 has all been a magical dream. Please watch my show. I am begging you.”

The streaming service described the show as “a profoundly serious, stunningly original crime thriller in which a tormented detective from the Northern city of Bleakford ventures down to London on a mission to catch a ritualistic serial killer before they run out of people to kill.  Contains blood and frowning.”
