The BBC has released the electrifying first trailer and key art for its upcoming crime drama, "The Jetty," providing a tantalizing glimpse into the four-part mystery series set to premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on 15 July. Starring Jenna Coleman, known for her roles in "Doctor Who," "The Cry," and "The Serpent," the series promises to be a deep dive into complex themes of sexual morality, identity, and memory.
A Thrilling New Mystery
"The Jetty," created and written by Cat Jones and produced by Firebird Pictures, centers on Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman) as she navigates a case that could unravel her entire life. When a devastating fire sweeps through a picturesque Lancashire lake town, Ember is drawn into an intricate web of connections involving a podcast journalist investigating a cold case and a troubling relationship between a man in his twenties and two underage girls. As she gets closer to the truth, Ember is forced to confront her own past and reassess everything she thought she knew about her hometown.
Exploring Deep Themes
The series delves into pressing issues such as sexual morality, the age of consent, grooming, identity, and memory, particularly in the context of the Me Too movement. "The Jetty" is as much a coming-of-age story as it is a detective thriller, posing significant questions about morality and the complexities of human relationships.

Jenna Coleman leads a talented cast, including Tom Glynn-Carney ("House of the Dragon," "SAS Rogue Heroes"), Ruby Stokes ("Lockwood & Co.," "Rocks"), Archie Renaux ("The Greatest Beer Run," "Shadow and Bone"), Laura Marcus ("The Great Escaper," "Bad Education"), and Bo Bragason ("The Ballad of Renegade Nell"). The ensemble also features Weruche Opia ("I May Destroy You"), Amelia Bullmore ("Happy Valley"), Matthew McNulty ("The Rising"), Ralph Ineson ("The Witch"), David Ajala ("Italian Studies"), Nina Barker-Francis ("The Flash"), Miya Ocego ("Wreck"), Elliot Cowan ("The Crown"), Shannon Watson, Arthur Hughes ("Then Barbara Met Alan"), Dominic Coleman ("Paddington"), and Ruaridh Mollica ("Red Rose").
Creative Team and Production
Directed by Marialy Rivas ("Young & Wild," "Perry Mason"), and produced by Natasha Romaniuk, "The Jetty" is crafted by a team of experienced creators. The series' executive producers include Elizabeth Kilgarriff, Cat Jones, Sarah Wyatt, Marialy Rivas, Jenna Coleman, and Jo McClellan for the BBC, with BBC Studios handling international distribution.
