The four-part mystery series examines themes of morality, age of consent, grooming, identity and memory. 

While 2023’s thriller Wilderness saw Jenna Coleman under suspicion, her latest project sees her turn detective.

The Jetty sees Coleman as Ember Manning, investigating a case that threatens to unravel the threads of her past.

The four-part Lancashire series lands in mid-July. Jenna Coleman leads a cast which includes Tom Glynn-Carney (SAS Rogue Heroes) and Ruby Stokes (Lockwood & Co.)

Here’s the official synopsis for The Jetty:

When a fire tears through a property in a scenic Lancashire lake town, Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman) must work out how it connects to a podcast journalist investigating a missing persons cold case and an illicit relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls.

But as Ember gets close to the truth, it threatens to destroy her life – forcing her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the town she’s always called home. As much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller, The Jetty asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory, in the places that Me Too has left behind.

Also in the ensemble cast are Bo Bragson (Renegade Nell), Amelia Bullmore (Gentleman Jack) and David Ajala (Star Trek: Discovery).

Plus, Archie Renaux, Laura Marcus, Weruche Opia, Matthew McNulty, Ralph Ineson, Nina Barker-Francis, Miya Ocego, Elliot Cowan, Shannon Watson, Arthur Hughes, Dominic Coleman and Ruaridh Mollica.

The show comes from Firebird Pictures, who were behind Wilderness. The show’s creator and writer is Cat Jones (Harlots), the director is Marialy Rivas (Perry Mason) and producer Natasha Romaniuk. The executive producers are Jones, Coleman and Rivas, with Elizabeth Kilgarriff, Sarah Wyatt and Jo McClellan for the BBC.

The Jetty launches on Monday, 15th July 2024 on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
