Channel 4 announces Complicit, a murder mystery starring Claire Goose

The show is a six-part murder mystery that peers into the shadows of a suburban neighbourhood and the hidden lives of its residents. It is written by Carline Carver (The Bay, Grace)

What we know about the plot of Complicit

First up, don’t confuse this with Channel 4’s 2013 MI5 drama of the same name. This show starts as a love triangle. Claire Goose (Gone, The Bay) leads the cast as Jen Molloy, starring alongside Moe Dunford (House of Guinness, The Dry) who plays Jen’s lover, Damian Barr, and Jason O’Mara (The Lincoln Lawyer, The Man in the High Castle) as her husband, Chris Molloy.

The press release continues:

When Jen Molloy slips back home after a night of passion with a man who isn’t her husband, she has no idea how devastating the consequences will be. When a death follows, one split-second lie threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. If protecting your family meant allowing a killer to walk free… what choice would you make?

Complicit explores the terrifying ripples of a single untruth and the contradictions of how far we will go to protect everything we love whilst fighting an insatiable pull towards something more dangerous. Secrets are only secrets if they stay hidden…

The show is due on screen in 2027. More news when we get it.
