The BBC has released more images from Lynley — the show arrives this autumn
The BBC has revealed further images from Lynley, an upcoming mystery crime series based on the beloved best-selling novels by Elizabeth George. The four-part drama will launch this autumn on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
What’s the show about?
Tommy Lynley is a brilliant police detective but an outsider in the force – simply by virtue of his aristocratic upbringing. He is paired with Barbara Havers, a sergeant with a maverick attitude and a working-class background. With seemingly nothing in common and against all odds, the mismatched duo of Lynley and Havers become a formidable team, bonded by their desire to see justice done. His brain and her spirit – his knowledge and her instincts. It is only through working side by side do they both find where they truly belong.
Leo Suter (Vikings: Valhalla) plays the lead, with Sofia Barclay (Ted Lasso) as Havers. Other cast include Daniel Mays (Magpie Murders), Niamh Walsh (The English Game), Michael Workeye (My Lady Jane) and Joshua Sher (Vera). The image above is one of many you can see in the BBC article linked.
The show is created, written and executive produced by Steve Thompson (Sherlock, Vienna Blood). Elizabeth George, author of the Inspector Lynley novels, also serves as executive producer. Her books have been translated into over 30 languages and were previously adapted into The Inspector Lynley Mysteries which ran on BBC One for six series from 2001 to 2007.
