Robbie Coltrane, star of ITV's classic Cracker, will lead the cast of brand new three-part drama, Murderland, coming soon to ITV1.

Coltrane will star alongside Sharon Small (Mistresses), Lucy Cohu (Becoming Jane), Amanda Hale and Nicholas Gleaves (Foyle's War).

Murderland is an emotional and passionate thriller that tells a traumatic murder story through the eyes of three central characters: Carrie the daughter of the murdered woman, Douglas Hain, the detective in charge of the investigation and Sally the murder victim.

Still haunted by her mother's murder, the adult Carrie cannot move on from the terrible unexplained events that occurred when she was a child and make a new life, until she uncovers the truth.

Murderland is a knife-edge thriller featuring themes of revenge, redemption and rough justice, with three different perspectives linking up to piece together the truth.

As the investigation unfolds, Carrie's yearning to discover who murdered her mother becomes obsessive, bringing her closer to Hain. In the end Carrie holds the key to the killer - but the past may be better laid to rest when those you trust have the most to hide, and chillingly are now the people from whom you may have most to fear.
