David Tennant tillbaka i TV4 med The Escape Artist

David Tennant, från tittarsuccén Broadchurch, återvänder till TV4 i december i den nya psykologisk thrillern The Escape Artist. Miniseriern i tre delar hade en fantastisk premiär på BBC One i oktober, och kommer nu till TV4, med start tisdag den 17 december klockan 21.00.

– Det var självklart för TV4 att plocka upp The Escape Artist. Det känns rätt att avsluta det här årets rad av inköpta dramaserier med denna välgjorda och komprimerade serie. Att David Tennant, som fick sitt genombrott för TV4-tittarna i höstens hit Broadchurch, är så självklar i huvudrollen även i denna spännande miniserie var givetvis också en viktig faktor, säger Helena Forsman, programchef Inköp TV4-Gruppen.

Serien tar sin början i en rättsal där den unge försvarsadvokaten Will Burton blir tilldelad ett nytt fall. Will rankas som Englands främsta försvarsadvokat och hans fantastiska förmåga att få sina klienter frisläppta har gett honom namnet "The escape artist". Wills framgångsrika och lyckliga liv tar dock en makaber vändning. Hans klient Liam Foyle står anklagad för ett bestialiskt mord på en ung kvinna men blir frisläppt. Will har gjort sitt jobb som advokat – men får nu Foyle till fiende. Den dödliga sorten.

Premiären på BBC One tisdag den 29 oktober drog hela 5 miljoner brittiska tittare, 3 miljoner fler än närmsta konkurrent. Serien är skapad och skriven avDavid Wolstencroft (Spooks, Shooting Dogs) och regisserad av Brian Welsh (Black Mirror, In Our Name, Mayday).

The Escape Artist sänds den 17 till 19 december klockan 21.00 i TV4.


David Tennant back on TV4 with The Escape Artist

David Tennant , fresh from his success in Broadchurch, returns to TV4 in December in the new psychological thriller The Escape Artist. The three-part miniseries had an acclaimed premiere on BBC One in October, and now comes to TV4, starting Tuesday, December 17th at 21.00.

“It was obvious that TV4 should pick up The Escape Artist. It feels right to end this year's run of purchased series with this well-made and tightly written series. And as David Tennant, who had his breakthrough for TV4 viewers in the autumn hit Broadchurch, is starring in the lead role of this exciting miniseries, of course that was also an important factor,” says Helena Forsman, Program Purchases TV4 Group.

The series begins in a courtroom where the young defence lawyer Will Burton is assigned a new case. Will ranks as England's top defence attorney and his amazing ability to get their clients released has given him the nickname "The Escape Artist". Will’s successful and happy life, however, takes a macabre turn. His client Liam Foyle is accused of the brutal murder of a young woman but gets released. Will has done his job as a lawyer - but now has Foyle as an enemy. Of the deadly variety.

The premiere on BBC One on Tuesday, October 29 drew a full 5 million UK viewers, 3 million more than the nearest competitor. The series is created and written David Wolstencroft (Spooks, Shooting Dogs) and directed by Brian Welsh (Black Mirror, In Our Name, Mayday).

The Escape Artist airs from 17th to 19th December at 21:00 on TV4.
