ITV commissions eight part thriller Paranoid from Red Production Company
Indira Varma, Robert Glenister, Neil Stuke, Lesley Sharp and Kevin Doyle are to star in new eight part ITV drama, Paranoid, to be produced by Red Production Company.
Newcomer Dino Fetscher also joins the stellar cast alongside Anjil Mohindra, Christiane Paul, Polly Walker, Michael Maloney, William Ash, John Duttine and Jason Done.
A conspiracy thriller, Paranoid, tells the story of a female GP who is murdered in a rural childrenโs playground with an abundance of eyewitnesses. A group of detectives embark on what seems to be a straightforward murder investigation, but as they delve deeper into the case they are quickly drawn into the twists and turns of an ever-darkening mystery, which takes them unexpectedly across Europe.
The drama is written by acclaimed writer and producer Bill Gallagher whose previous credits include The Paradise, Conviction, Love Life and Lark Rise to Candleford.
Set in Cheshire in the small fictional town of Marshwell, detectives Michael Niles (Neil Stuke), Nina Suresh (Indira Varma), Alec Wayfield (Dino Fetscher) and Bobby Day (Robert Glenister) begin to piece together what happened on the fateful morning Doctor Angela Benton took her three year old son Luke to the playground.
Watching Luke play alongside other Mums and their toddlers, Angela is set upon and brutally stabbed by a man in a hoody whose face is covered from view. His jerking head movements and disturbingly weird sounds became apparent moments before the attack, and eyewitness and local Garden Centre owner Lucy Cannonbury (Lesley Sharp) is keen to help the detectives. With Lucyโs version of events instantly ringing alarm bells with dedicated, compassionate cop Nina Suresh, fellow seasoned detective Bobby Day, is more willing to accept Lucyโs account of Angelaโs tragic murder.
As the investigation unfolds, Bobby is convinced someone is watching them when he catches sight of shadowy figures. Bobby and his colleagues also begin to receive mysteriously worded notes from the โGhost Detectiveโ helping them with insightful details about the case.
The team soon tracks the main suspect to the flat he shares with his brother. Jacob Appley suffers from psychopathic schizophrenia with OCD tendencies and the evidence is compelling. But is he the killer they so desperately seek? All is clearly not what it seems and Alec obsesses about why Jacob would commit murder and then apparently kill himself. Little do our heroes know they are on the precipice of a nightmare with
this case taking them on a dangerous and beguiling journey across Europe which will inevitably wreak pain and havoc for all involved. When in search of Angelaโs ex partner the investigation moves to Germany and weโre introduced to detectives Linda Felber (Christiane Paul) and Walti Merian (Dominik Tiefenthaler) who work alongside the team from the Cheshire Police Force.
At odds and wrestling with their own demons, Nina, Alec and Bobby, undoubtedly make a good team, but the dynamic becomes further complicated when spurned by her lover and feeling cheated, Nina, seizes the moment and unexpectedly leans in to kiss Alec. Stunned by her actions Alec is quick to reciprocate. And even though he is many years younger than her, this relationship and passion takes them both by surprise. But can they overcome the many obstacles they face? Will their kiss be the end of a potentially beautiful friendship? How complicated could this relationship become? And what part will Alecโs mother Monica (Polly Walker) play in trying to keep them apart.
Paranoid will be produced by Tom Sherry (Prey, Ordinary Lies, Scott & Bailey) and executive produced by founder and director of Red Production Company Nicola Shindler (Happy Valley, Ordinary Lies, Last Tango in Halifax) and writer and creator Bill Gallagher. Mark Tonderai (The Five, House at the End of the Street, Whisper of Fear) will direct the series.
Based in Manchester, Red Production Company is one of the UKโs leading independent production companies responsible for globally successful television dramas including Happy Valley, Prey, Cucumber, and Scott & Bailey. Red Production Company is a STUDIOCANAL company.
โWeโre really excited to be working with Bill Gallagher again,โ said Nicola Shindler. โHeโs created a conspiracy thriller the audience wonโt be able to look away from. Itโs edgy, suspenseful and hugely ambitious as filming takes place in Cheshire and Germany.โ
Producer Tom Sherry added: โParanoid lays bare the human and emotional story of a group of detectives hell-bent on capturing a killer, but there are unexpected twists and turns every step of the way.โ
The eight part series has been commissioned for ITV by Director of Drama Steve November and Controller of Drama Victoria Fea.
