Eagle Eye Drama Adapting Professor T for ITV

ITV has commissioned the crime drama Professor T from the newly formed production company Eagle Eye Drama, launched by the same team behind Walter Presents.

Based on the hit Belgian series of the same name, Professor T is set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most prestigious educational institutions, Cambridge University. Ben Miller (Johnny English, Death in Paradise) plays the genius OCD criminologist Professor Jasper Tempest, alongside Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The History Boys) as his colorful but overbearing mother, Adelaide.

Walter Iuzzolino, executive producer and CEO of Eagle Eye Drama, said: “Professor T is my all-time favorite detective—a tortured genius wrestling with mysterious childhood trauma. It’s a unique crime series with a core of wonderful warm characters at its heart and I am delighted to be working with our hand-picked European production team to make this for ITV and international audiences.”
