From the creators of Marcella and The Burning Girls, a Happy Valley star is starring in a new psychological thriller, and we couldn't be more excited to see her in action!
The show, The Crow Girl, is based on Erik Axl Sund's bestselling novel, with the synopsis reading: "When the bodies of unidentified young men start to show up around the city, beaten and full of the anaesthetic lidocaine, DCI Jeanette Kilburn and partner DI Lou Stanley are on the hunt for the killer."
The officers enlist the help of the prime suspect's psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven, played by Katherine, who offers a "fresh but troubling perspective on the case". However, with the killer still on the loose, the gang find themselves in a race against time to work out the mystery.
In the show, Katherine is set to be joined by Keeping Faith star Eve Myles alongside Vigil actor Dougray Scott. The Crow Girl has already shared a series of first-look snaps, and is set to land on Paramount+ in the UK and Ireland, so watch this space!
