Liza Marshall, Gwyneth Hughes, Peter Kosminsky and Hawes will executive produce, and the drama will be made in association with Hawes&#8217; company Buddy Club.<\/p>\n<p>ITV&#8217;s head of drama, Polly Hill, said: \u201cGwyn&#8217;s scripts beautifully and sensitively tell the story of DCI Caroline Goode&#8217;s\u00a0investigation into the tragic murder of Banaz Mahmod. I am proud to work with Liza and Hera Pictures, to bring this important story to screen on ITV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commented Marshall: \u201cAt Hera Pictures we are committed to telling stories about remarkable women, so I feel privileged to bring Gwyneth\u2019s sensitive and skillful script to screen and to shine a light on the bravery of Banaz and Caroline\u2019s dedication to achieving justice for her. I am delighted that Polly and the team at ITV share our passion for this story and we couldn\u2019t have hoped for a better actress than Keeley to take on this role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Hughes: \u201cBanaz Mahmod met her brutish death on the orders of her own father and uncle, which I find profoundly unsettling. That this story is ultimately so uplifting is down to the sheer heroism and dedication of the police officers who hunted down her killers. Caroline Goode and her team felt real love for this girl they\u2019d never met. I found their unusual warmth and humanity deeply moving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawes added: \u201cIt is a privilege to be working on <em>Honour<\/em> as Buddy Club&#8217;s first ever project.\u00a0In a time where honor killings are still rife, it is critical to shine a light on such an important subject. Banaz Mahmod&#8217;s story, and DCI Goode\u2019s subsequent investigation, is certainly one that needs to be told and I am proud to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ITV has commissioned the new two-part drama Honour, which will star Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":11491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[321,426],"class_list":["post-11490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-itv","tag-keeley-hawes","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Keeley Hawes to Star in &amp;
