Paramount+ greenlights ‘The Crow Girl’
Paramount+ has announced the commission of a new original UK drama series, The Crow Girl, adapted from the internationally best-selling trilogy by Erik Axl Sund, with Eve Myles, Katherine Kelly and Dougray Scott cast in the lead roles. From Emmy-winning creative team Buccaneer (Irvine Welsh’s Crime, Marcella), The Crow Girl is a multi-faceted contemporary psychological thriller and begins with the gruesome discovery of a teenage boy’s body discarded in plain sight. Determined to find who is responsible, DCI Jeanette Kirkland (played by Myles: Hijack, Broadchurch, A Very English Scandal) joins forces with psychotherapist Sophia Craven (Kelly: Mr. Bates vs. the Post Office, Liar, Inside No. 9) to hunt the killer, despite opposition from her superiors, including confidant DI Lou Stanley (Scott: Irvine Welsh’s Crime, Vigil).
The Crow Girl is adapted for the screen by Milly Thomas, who acted in the likes of The Crown and Sex Education. “I’ve been aching to dive into this story ever since I got my paws on the strange, twisty beast of a novel, and to be making this show alongside the fierce talents of Paramount+ and Buccaneer is a real joy,” she said.
The Crow Girl is executive produced by Buccaneer’s Tony Wood and Richard Tulk-Hart, along with Thomas. Charles Martin and Rebecca Rycroft are both directors of the series, with Andy Mosse serving as producer. The Crow Girl has commenced filming in Bristol.
