New crime thriller ‘Six Four’ has been commissioned by ITV.
Kevin McKidd is set to star in the new ITV series
The four-part drama - which is inspired by the best-selling novel of the same name by Hideo Yokoyama - will star ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ actor Kevin McKidd and ‘Boiling Point’s Vinette Robinson.
Kevin said: "I never take for granted the privilege of being an actor and the chance to become characters like Chris O'Neill, a hard-working serving police officer, whose teenage daughter has gone missing in 'Six Four'.
"Greg Burke's scripts are real page-turners, as he keeps you guessing with every plot twist and turn. I'm delighted to be returning to my native Scotland and to be partnering Vinette Robinson as my on-screen wife, Michelle, and to be working with House Productions and ITV on what promises to be a compelling thriller."
The cast of 'Six Four' also includes Richard Coyle, James Cosmo, Alex Ferns, Iona Anderson, Andrew O’Neill and Nilani Chetty.
George Burke is thrilled to be working with House Productions, ITV and BBC Studios on the new series.
He added: "At its heart, 'Six Four' is a human story about two people under incredible amounts of pressure, who both choose to try and address their pasts.
"It is a story about how chance can define a lifetime, exploring the corruption that runs through institutions, and examining the secrets and monsters that lurk in every family."
Polly Hill, ITV’s Head of Drama, can't wait for the show - which recently commenced filming in Scotland - to air in 2023.
Polly said: "'Six Four' excitingly brings Kevin McKidd back to Scotland to lead this wonderful cast. Greg Burke’s scripts are brilliant - a compelling police investigation and the heart-breaking personal story of a runaway child."
