The record-breaking success story that was Bodyguard may be over but the BBC has the perfect thriller to replace it.
Starring Jenna Coleman and Ewan Leslie as leads, The Cry adapts Helen FitzGerald’s novel into a four-part mystery thriller guaranteed to have you gripped.
You’ll have to remain focused to keep up as The Cry is a big fan of switching time and flashbacks from the very first moments, but once you’re hooked you won’t even notice – you’ll just want to know what happened to baby Noah.
Ahead of episode one, here’s everything you need to know about The Cry…
What is The Cry about?
Joanna – played by Coleman – is a sleep-deprived mother desperately trying to keep her head above water when it comes to looking after three-month-old baby Noah, the son she shares with husband Alistair.
Alistair, played by Ewan Leslie, is happy to let Joanna care for their child but soon uproots the family to Australia in order to fight for his teenage daughter, Chloe, from a previous marriage.
But one moment of distraction from Joanna turns their new life in Australia upside down in an instant as Noah vanishes, changing to focus of the story to getting a different child back.
