From Darkness Episode 2 will see that the discovery of a new victim carries a haunting message for Claire Church (Anne-Marie Duff).
Episode 1 has just finished, and a review will be online shortly, but if you missed the episode then it’ll be on the BBC iPlayer. It’s a new psychological crime drama starring Shameless‘ Anne-Marie Duff, following a submission to the BBC Writersroom, which is written by Katie Baxendale (Sugar Rush) and directed by Dominic Leclerc (Call The Midwife, The Syndicate, The Village).
Duff is Claire Church, a former police officer who left Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in the mid-Nineties after the impact of violence became too overwhelming for her to continue. She said of her role: “Katie Baxendale has created a beautifully complex character in her female protagonist. As soon as I started to read episode one I felt excited at the prospect of being involved. It’s a world in which all of the characters have real stories to tell. Also I loved the BBC series The Village and one of its directors, Dominic Leclerc, will be our director on this. I couldn’t be happier.”
From Darkness Episode 2 airs on BBC1 next Sunday at 9pm.
