Tall Story Pictures and Metropolitan Pictures have partnered with Channel 4 to order Complicit, a gripping six-part murder mystery crafted and written by Caroline Carver (The Bay, Grace). The drama uncovers the dark, hidden dynamics lurking beneath the surface of an unsuspecting suburban community.
Cast and Story Details
Claire Goose (Gone, The Bay) heads the series as Jen Molloy. Moe Dunford (House of Guinness, The Dry) portrays her lover, Damian Barr, while Jason O’Mara (The Lincoln Lawyer, The Man in the High Castle) plays her husband, Chris Molloy..
The narrative ignites when Jen returns home following an illicit encounter, unaware that her actions will trigger a catastrophic chain of events. A sudden death forces her into a critical split-second lie, raising a devastating dilemma: if safeguarding your family meant letting a murderer walk free, what path would you choose? Complicit examines the destructive fallout of deceit, balancing the drive to protect loved ones against the magnetic pull of dangerous desire.
Caroline Carver, Writer and Creator said: “It has been incredibly exciting to see Complicit come to life in such a breathtaking way. The phenomenal Claire Goose stars, alongside an exceptional cast, in this seductive thriller which delves into the shattering repercussions of acting on your most hidden desires. I am forever grateful to the mighty Tall Story Pictures, Channel 4 and Virgin Media for their unwavering support, vision and brilliance, and I can’t wait to share it with audiences.”
Catherine Oldfield, Creative Director of Tall Story Pictures added: “Tall Story Pictures are huge fans of Caroline’s writing and Complicit is a deliciously twisty and sexy thriller that really demonstrates how brilliant she is. The cast, led by the fabulous Claire Goose, are fantastic and I can’t wait for audiences to watch this story unfold.”
Polly Scates, Head of Acquisitions at Channel 4, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing this propulsive thriller to Channel 4 starring Claire Goose and asking, if everything was at stake, how far would you go to protect it? We are excited to be partnering with ITV Studios, Tall Story Pictures and Virgin Ireland to bring this project to life.”
