The Barking Murders (available from 7th June 2022)
From the award-winning writing team, Jeff Pope (Isolation Stories, A Confession) and Neil McKay (The Suspicion of Mr. Whicher, The Moorside) this three-part drama sheds light on the crimes of Stephen Port (played by Emmy winner Stephne Merchant) who murdered four young gay men in London.
Titled Four Lives in the UK, the series focuses on the victims’ loved ones, who tirelessly fought to uncover the truth, and the investigation that finally brought a dangerous killer to justice.
