Ellis

Ellis garnered critical acclaim for being the “detective drama that the genre has been crying out for” (Radio Times), with three-time Olivier Award winner and BAFTA nominee Sharon D Clarke receiving praise for her portrayal of DCI Ellis – a detective fighting a system rife with flaws.

Fresh from her victories in series one, DCI Ellis is once again parachuted into failing cases across the north of England. With Harper at her side, she faces a new wave of fractured communities and suspicious deaths that test not only her forensic brilliance but her resilience. The series takes them from a rural village, where the suspicious death of a beloved community leader exposes long-nursed resentments, to the industrial shadow of a stone works, where the death of a young woman reveals a hidden network of coercion and exploitation. Every case peels back layers of silence, ambition, and betrayal.
