Paddy Considine, Lena Headey to Star in New Netflix Crime Drama

The series features Paddy Considine and Lena Headey in a four-part crime thriller about a detective pursuing a ritualistic serial killer in Bleakford and London.

  • Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror, is producing an untitled four-part detective series for Netflix starring Paddy Considine, Georgina Campbell, and Lena Headey.
  • Following his April 2025 Black Mirror Season 7 launch and exit from his Netflix-owned company Broke & Bones, Brooker shifted focus to this project with longtime collaborator Al Campbell directing.
  • The series centers on a troubled detective from northern Bleakford who travels to London with the goal of tracking down a serial killer involved in ritualistic murders before any more victims are claimed, and is described as a deeply serious and uniquely original crime thriller.
  • Brooker shared his enthusiasm for the announcement with a playful quote, noting how much he had looked forward to providing a statement for a press release, and hinted that the show will deliver plenty of intense moments filled with blood and serious expressions.
  • The production is underway with release date unannounced, indicating Brooker’s continuing innovation beyond Black Mirror's bleak themes and Netflix’s investment in original crime drama.
