Its story centers on Detective Sergeant Nancy Devlin, whose exemplary police career masks a covert attachment to shady businessman and drugs trafficker Frank Le Saux. She has always ensured that Frank stays off the police radar, but when he is murdered, Nancy finds herself at the center of an investigation that may expose her.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Level<\/em> will begin filming in London and Brighton during spring 2016. The show is being written by Gaby Chiappe (<em>Shetland<\/em>, <em>Vera<\/em>, <em>Lark Rise to Candleford<\/em>) and Alex Perrin (<em>Leonardo<\/em>, <em>Shetland<\/em>). DRG will be selling <em>The Level<\/em> internationally.<\/p>\n<p>Polly Leys and Kate Norrish on behalf of Hillbilly Television said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be working with ITV for the first time. We knew we had a great project and writing team in Gaby Chiappe and Alex Perrin and we\u2019re very happy that ITV feel the same. It is the perfect home for<em> The Level<\/em>, a high stakes, high intensity thriller. We can\u2019t wait to get going on bringing Nancy to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to commission <em>The Level<\/em> from Hillbilly Television,\u201d said ITV&#8217;s director of drama, Steve November. \u201cIt\u2019s a taut, tense thriller which sees Nancy struggling to shake off her past whilst trying against all odds to track a killer. The scripts from Gaby Chiappe and Alex Perrin are exceptional and we\u2019re looking forward to<em> The Level<\/em> going into production.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: ITV has commissioned a six-part drama, The Level, about a female detective who is leading a double life.<\/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":[320,321,322],"class_list":["post-5564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-hillbilly-television","tag-itv","tag-the-level","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
