BBC unveiled the first look image of Jenna Coleman from the upcoming series The Jetty. A detective thriller, the series stars Coleman as rookie detective Ember Manning. The series comes from creator and writer Cat Jones and is backed by Firebird Pictures.
The series will feature Coleman's Manning as a detective who investigates the connections between an act of arson at a peaceful lakeside house, a podcast journalist investigating a cold case of a missing person, and an illicit love triangle between two girls in their 20s and a man.
The logline of the series reads, “As much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller, The Jetty asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory, in the places that #MeToo has left behind.”
Archie Renaux, Laura Marcus, Bo Bragson, Amelia Bullmore, Ruby Stokes, Tom Glynn-Carney and David Ajala are also a part of the detective thriller series. The four-part series is set to debut later this year in the U.K.
In a statement, Coleman said about the series, “Working with BBC and Firebird Pictures on bringing the complex and enigmatic character of Ember Manning to life has been an incredible experience. I can’t wait for everyone to meet this new heroine and to find out what’s lurking beneath the surface of The Jetty."
