Luke Evans to headline The Pembrokeshire Murders

Luke Evans is set to star in the true-crime drama, The Pembrokeshire Murders, based on the book, Catching the Bullseye Killer. 

Evans will play police officer Steve Wilkins who, in 2006, reopened two unsolved double murders from the 1980s. The book was written by Wilkins and journalist Jonathan Hill. 

"It's a huge responsibility for me as the drama depicts a true crime which to this day still affects the families of those whose lives were tragically taken," said Evans, who was recently seen in Murder Mystery.

World Productions, the banner behind British police-thriller series, Bodyguard, is backing the new show, which also stars Keith Allen, Owen Teale, Alexandria Riley, Caroline Berry, Oliver Ryan, and David Fynn.

The filming of The Pembrokeshire Murders is set to begin later this month.
