Our first glimpse of Jenna Coleman in BBC One thriller The Jetty is here.
The new picture shows Jenna in character as rookie detective Ember Manning. She’s standing on a pier, with a background of foreboding water.
What is The Jetty about?
Highly-anticipated crime drama The Jetty will premiere on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2024. It stars Jenna as Ember, a detective investigating a fire in a Lancashire holiday home. Somehow, the fire connects both to a true crime podcaster investigating a missing persons cold case and an adult man’s relationship with two underage girls. Ember needs to find out how – and fast.
As Ember comes closer to answers, however, the case becomes entangled with her personal life. What is the truth behind Ember’s past, present, and her hometown? And how is it all connected to a fire?
The BBC describes The Jetty as “as much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller”, promising the series will pick up where the Me Too movement left off.
Speaking about the series, Jenna says: “Working with BBC and Firebird Pictures on bringing the complex and enigmatic character of Ember Manning to life has been an incredible experience.
“I can’t wait for everyone to meet this new heroine and to find out what’s lurking beneath the surface of The Jetty.”
