As the official synopsis reads: "Four different detectives are trying to solve the murder in different time periods: 1890s overachiever Edmond Hillinghead, dashing 1940s adventurer Karl Whiteman, kickass female 2010s Detective Sergeant Shahara Hasan, and Maplewood, an amnesiac from post-apocalyptic 2050, who brings a haunting perspective. Together, the four set out to uncover a conspiracy spanning 150 years."

Adapted from the Si Spencer graphic novel of the same name, Bodies is being produced by the makers of Peaky Blinders and is expected to land on the streaming service sometime next year.
