Coming in 2019, <em>15 Days<\/em> is a four-part original crime thriller that promises to turn &#8220;the traditional investigative narrative inside out.&#8221; The storyline begins with a brutal murder before rewinding back 15 days to embark on a countdown to find out why, how and who is responsible for the crime.<\/p>\n<p>Channel 5 has greenlit a new feature-length murder mystery, currently untitled, inspired by a high-profile, real-life 1920s murder. <em>Cold Call<\/em>, a four-part cuckoo-in-the-nest revenge thriller, has also been confirmed for Channel 5\u2019s schedule next year.<\/p>\n<p>The network has also acquired U.K. broadcast rights to <em>Blood<\/em>, a psychological crime thriller starring Adrian Dunbar and produced by Company Pictures in association with Element Pictures and all3media international for Virgin Media Television in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Frow, director of programs at Channel 5, commented: \u201cHomegrown drama is the missing ingredient from Channel 5\u2019s schedules, so it&#8217;s genuinely exciting to be able to unveil a range of new projects from such an array of talented producers. I hope they will give viewers yet another reason to take a fresh look at Channel 5 as we continue to overhaul our schedules from top to bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the U.K. broadcaster has signed a partnership deal with Kew Media Group for a range of drama projects over the next three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 5 has lined up a slate of original British dramas to begin broadcasting from late 2018 onward, with series such as Clink (working title), set in a women&#8217;s prison, on the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[761],"class_list":["post-10006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-5","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
