Gritty police procedural meets eerie folk horror in Alibi’s new crime drama The Red King, which follows a dogged cop who uncovers terrifying secrets on a remote island.
The six-part series, penned by Being Human’s Toby Whithouse, centres on spirited Sergeant Grace Narayan (Anjli Mohindra), who, after speaking out against corruption within her inner-city police force, is ostracised and sent to a new post on the (fictional) isle of St Jory, off the Welsh coast.
OUTSIDER
‘Grace is a by-thebook officer who thrives on seeking justice the right way – she’s like a dog with a bone who doesn’t give up,’ says Vigil and The Lazarus Project’s Mohindra, 34.
‘Grace knows this punishment posting is an attempt at making her leave the force and she’s determined not to let that be the case.’
