Watch Trailer For Upcoming BBC Series Sherwood
Former The Walking Dead star David Morrisey Series Based on real events
When it comes to true crime drama or ones inspired by true events we usually head to the streaming channels. Next month true crime fans may want to check out BBC upcoming compelling, contemporary crime drama Sherwood.
Today BBC have sent us the six part series official Trailer a series starring David Morrisey. Sherwood is set to explore the first time the controversial deployment of so-called ‘spycops’ around Britain, and a distinctly human story of a community forced to re-examine the terrible events of decades ago, for which it still bears the scars.
It is also a powerfully resonant and timely examination of the frayed social and political fabric of modern day, post-Brexit Britain. From the often ignored former ‘red wall’ towns and communities, whose lives and futures can be reduced to political footballs and endless discourse from the commentariat, to entrenched anxiety that can define the relationship between marginalised communities and the police force, to the evolving role and uncertain future of protest itself, Sherwood explores and exposes some of the most urgent fractures and discords threaded through modern British society.
Inspired in part by real events and set in the Nottinghamshire mining village where James Graham grew up, at the heart of Sherwood lie two shocking and unexpected killings that shatter an already fractured community and spark a massive manhunt. As suspicion and antipathy build – both between lifelong neighbours and towards the police forces who descend on the town – the tragic killings threaten to inflame historic divisions sparked during the miners’ strike three decades before.
Along with David Morrisey all-star ensemble also stars Joanne Froggatt, Robert Glenister, Alun Armstrong, Lesley Manville, Adeel Akhtar, Claire Rushbrook, Kevin Doyle, Lorraine Ashbourne, Phillip Jackson, Perry Fitzpatrick, Adam Hugill and Stephen Tompkinson.
The six-part Sherwood will start on Monday 13th June on BBC One and iPlayer, with episodes airing on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9pm across three weeks.
