The series is produced by Buccaneer Media for ITV and distributed worldwide by Buccaneer's parent company Cineflix.[4] It was first shown on ITV on 4 April 2016, with seven further episodes released weekly.[5]
The series stars Anna Friel as Marcella Backland, a former London detective who returns to work to investigate an open case from 11 years earlier involving an unidentified serial killer who appears to have become active again. She has a hectic home life as her husband, Jason (Nicholas Pinnock), has decided to leave her and their two children are in boarding school. Nina Sosanya (series one), Ray Panthaki and Jamie Bamber are also credited as principal members of the cast.[citation needed]
