Vigil (New BBC Drama from makers of Line of Duty and Bodyguard)

[Blessings]

BBC One has released a tense first trailer and six new images for Vigil, the forthcoming thriller series from World Productions, the makers of Line of Duty, Bodyguard and The Pembrokeshire Murders. The trailer will air on BBC One tonight (Sunday), following the credits of the Line of Duty series six finale.


Vigil stars Suranne Jones, Rose Leslie, Shaun Evans, Martin Compston and Paterson Joseph, and will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year.

The mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death on-board the submarine HMS Vigil bring the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services. DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) and DS Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) lead an investigation on land and at sea into a conspiracy that goes to the very heart of Britain’s national security.

Vigil’s stellar ensemble cast also features Anjli Mohindra, Connor Swindells, Adam James, Gary Lewis, Stephen Dillane, Lolita Chakrabarti, Daniel Portman, Lorne MacFadyen and Lauren Lyle.

The fictional six-part series is written and created by Bafta-nominated writer Tom Edge, with episodes by Ed Macdonald and Chandni Lakhani. It is directed by Bafta-winner James Strong, and Isabelle Sieb. Vigil is produced by Angie Daniell, executive produced by Simon Heath and Jake Lushington for World Productions, Gaynor Holmes for the BBC, James Strong and Tom Edge.

So they've got Stannis and Ygritte in this show?
I'll give this a shot.


Creator of Bodyguard... Could be interesting.
The first three episodes of Bodyguard were some of the best television of that year but the later episodes fizzled out and completely relied on suspension of disbelief.

I watched the first episode tonight. I’m hooked

@pickles this seems like a show you might like. I also finished The Tourist and it was good, like you said. Hopefully more US folks will watch it when it’s on here

i really enjoyed this show.

honestly the setting a submarine played a huge part in it too. i wish there was more shows like that. i tried to google some and it seems like everything else set on a submarine is pretty
