TRAILER IS HERE WITH MARTIN COMPSTON

After Richard Armitage who was the lead in the first season, Martin Compston takes over the second season of RED EYE series with Jing Lusi back in the high conspiracy drama which returns January 1st on ITVX. Inside the US Embassy, the celebrations for a newly-appointed Ambassador to London are shattered when a call threatening to blow a British plane out of the sky if anyone leaves triggers an immediate embassy lockdown and traps guests and staff inside. That’s when the murders begin, landing Hana Li, as a British cop, in a political and jurisdictional nightmare. Compelled to join forces with the Head of Embassy Security, Clay Brody, a former colleague who once screwed her over, Hana has to see her way past her distrust of him and focus on the investigation.

Very exciting 🙌

 After attending a medical conference in Beijing and coming frighteningly close to dying in a car crash, Dr. Matthew Nolan (Richard Armitage), arrives home and is immediately arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport.

charges.DC Hana Li (Jing Lusi), is the no nonsense London officer charged with accompanying Nolan back to Beijing. Her resentment for this assignment, and of Nolan himself, is immediate. However, in flight, when a first death occurs, Li begins to suspect foul play. Further deaths confirm that Nolan is in danger, and after a call from MI5, Hana finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy. Back in London, we follow Hana’s sister, scrappy reporter Jess Li (Jemma Moore), who is running her own investigation into Nolan’s extradition and finds herself running for her life from an unknown assassin. And in Thames House, the head of MI5, Madeline Delaney (Lesley Sharp), breaks protocol and risks her entire career to not only help Hana and Nolan stay alive but also to expose an international conspiracy that seems to implicate both China and people in her own government.

FROM THE BOY THAT NEVER WAS

Over at London TV Screenings Irish broadcaster RTE will be presenting a four hour drama based on the novel by Karen Perry THE BOY THAT NEVER WAS starring Colin Morgan and Toni O'Rourke with Kerr Logan and Simon Callow also in the cast. In Dublin, Harry thinks he glimpses in a crowd a six-year-old boy who he’s convinced is his son Dillon, disappeared in an earthquake in Morocco three years before. His obsession tears apart his marriage, exposing shameful secrets.

 

  FROM RED EYE WITH RICHARD ARMITAGE

Also joining London TV Screenings is new thriller TV series RED EYE which will stream on ITVX. In this action-packed thriller, Jing Lusi stars in the role of police officer Hana Li who escorts Dr. Matthew Nolan (Richard Armitage) when he is renditioned to China from the U.K. When inexplicable deaths occur onboard the red eye flight raise, Li forms an unlikely alliance with Head of MI5 Madeleine Delaney and journalist Jess Li, her sister, to uncover a wider global conspiracy. 

FROM BBC'S LOST BOYS AND FAIRIES

British broadcaster will, meanwhile, present their new gay TV series LOST BOYS AND FAIRIES. Set in Cardiff, this tender, and possibly tear-jerking, drama shows a longtime gay couple, happy with their life and finally getting ready to adopt a child. Or so they think, as this big step will force at least one of them – seemingly fearless drag artist Gabriel (Sion Daniel Young) – to revisit painful memories that marked his childhood following his mother’s passing. The very same ones he already tried his best to forget. Fra Fee takes the other male lead as Andy!

  CERBERUS TV SERIES  

NEW RUSSIAN HISTORICAL SHOW

We are over in Ivanovo today where Pilot, a Russian series festival similar to MipCom, is taking place presenting upcoming new projects. The only historical drama in the competition there is CERBERUS (Цербер) which will air on Premier streamer in Russia. The story is set in 1826, St. Petersburg. After the suppression of speeches on Senate Square, the investigating commission begins to search for participants in the Decembrist uprising. Some of them are revealed to the authorities by the informers. Suddenly, a series of brutal murders takes place in St. Petersburg: those who snitched on the Decembrists become victims. Near the bodies of the dead, there is invariably a piece of paper with lines from a poem by the young poet Alexander Pushkin. A detective (Timofey Tribuntsev) who arrived from Moscow to St. Petersburg, as well as a nobleman (Sergey Marin), who was released from arrest, take up the investigation of the case. It turns out that the secret investigation is not dealing with criminality, but with a strictly planned political revenge. Revenge, the highest point of which should be the murder of the new Russian Tsar Nicholas I.
