Aug. 18 (UPI) — Ordeal by Innocence actress Morven Christie and Robin Hood actor Jonas Armstrong are to star in ITV’s upcoming detective drama The Bay .
«Lisa is such a refreshingly real character — brilliant and flawed, trying to make everything work, and often failing,» Christie said in a statement. «I adore her. And I loved Daragh’s scripts, rooted in the families and community of this distinctive town. I can’t wait to get stuck in with Lee and the team, and this fantastic cast he has put together. I hope we’re going to make something that feels raw and real, as well as being a hugely compelling story.»
Also featuring Tracie Bennett, Lindsey Coulson and Chanel Cresswell, the series was penned by Daragh Carville whose credits include Being Human, The Smoke and Cherrybomb .
Filming on the show is to begin this month in and around the coastal town of Morecambe and in the city of Manchester.
