The Crow Girl cast plot trailer release schedule for new gritty

The Crow Girl is a new crime drama series on Paramount+ set in Bristol and was filmed in and around the city

Eve Myles and ex-Coronation Street actress Katherine Kelly join forces to track down a serial killer in a new drama series set in Bristol.

Based on the best-selling novel by Erik Axl Sund, The Crow Girl delves into the investigation of unidentified, battered young men found across Bristol, all of whom have been injected with the anaesthetic lidocaine.

DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Eve Myles) and her partner DI Lou Stanley (Dougray Scott) grapple with the case, enlisting the help of psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly) to provide a fresh perspective.

The new crime drama was filmed across Bristol, with a new 'Bristol Metropolitan Police' station created in the former Bank of England building on Wine Street. More filming took place in Castle Park and on Castle Bridge, with further filming taking place in Brean in neighbouring Somerset.

This new Paramount+ series is set to be one of the most significant crime dramas of early 2025. But who stars in the series and how can you tune in?

The Mirror reports The Crow Girl centres around DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Eve Myles) and her partner DI Lou Stanley (Dougray Scott), as they pursue a murderer leaving behind bodies of unidentified, beaten young men in Bristol, all filled with the anaesthetic lidocaine.

Faced with scant evidence and mounting pressure to crack the case, Jeanette turns to prime suspect Carl Lowry's psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven (Katherine Kelly) for a fresh take on the situation.

However, as the killer draws ever closer to home, Jeanette and her team are in a race against the clock to unravel a web of secrets and solve the mystery.

The adaptation of the series has been penned by writer Milly Thomas, who not only wrote four out of the six episodes but also holds the position of executive producer. Directors Charles Martin and Rebecca Rycroft have both contributed to directing episodes throughout the series.
