Married to her husband Mark, she’s compelled to look for answers when an unsettling chain of events rips through their close-knit community.
Notorious for roles including Alice Morgan in Luther, Alison Bailey in The Affair, and Marisa Coulter in His Dark Materials – Wilson has more than demonstrated her range over the years.
Boasting a Golden Globe award in 2015 for best actress in The Affair, two Olivier Awards, and multiple Bafta nominations, fans of hers should expect another stellar performance.
Emma Thompson as Zoë Boehm
Thompson plays the sarcastic, acerbic Zoë Boehm. Photographer: Matt TowersThompson plays the sarcastic, acerbic counterpart to Wilson’s character. A talented PI, operating on the fringes of legality in the Oxford area, Boehm is someone who has, clearly, lived a life.

With a long and illustrious portfolio, Thompson is famous for her roles as Karen in Love Actually, Professor Sybill Trelawney in the Harry Potter franchise, and the wart-covered Nanny McPhee.

You might even remember his infamous role as Faisal in the 2010 dark comedy Four Lions.
Darren Boyd as C
