Jenna Coleman is set to star in a new BBC drama - and we’re already totally sold on it! The Jetty follows Jenna as Detective Ember Manning as she investigates a case that has close ties with her past. Find out everything you need to know here…
The upcoming four-part series, directed by Perry Mason’s Marialy Rivas, follows a detective who has to connect the dots following a house fire. The official synopsis reads: “When a fire tears through a property in a scenic Lancashire lake town, Detective Ember Manning must work out how it connects to a podcast journalist investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls.
“But as Ember gets close to the truth, it threatens to destroy her life – forcing her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the town she’s always called home. 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 Me Too has left behind.”
Jenna shared a post of the new show on Instagram, and her fans were quick to reply, with one writing: “Looking forward to seeing The Jetty very soon, you’re going to be absolutely brilliant as always,” while another added: “So looking forward to this - part filmed near me at Hollingworth Lake Greater Manchester.”
A third person added: “Was so lucky to be a part of this. Can't wait for it to come out.”
It is certainly a very busy time for Jenna, who confirmed that she is expecting her first child in late June at an event celebrating the opening of a new exhibition, called Imaginary Conversations: An ERDEM Collection Inspired by Duchess Deborah, at Chatsworth House.

And to what a lot of my friends are experiencing perhaps at the moment. And, I think, people don't really talk about it that much. But it's not scarred me forever.”
