LONDON: New Blood<\/em>, which comes from Anthony Horowitz, will premiere exclusively on BBC iPlayer ahead of its BBC One broadcast, making it the first prime-time drama to do so.<\/p>\n The seven-part investigative drama is produced by Eleventh Hour Films and directed by Anthony Philipson (Our Girl<\/em>, Cuffs<\/em>, 24 Hours In A&E<\/em>). The story follows Stefan and Rash, junior investigators for the Serious Fraud Office and the police who, by combining their different skills, make a formidable crime-solving force.<\/p>\n Charlotte Moore, the controller of BBC Television and iPlayer, said: \u201cBBC iPlayer was the first platform that brought drama on-demand to audiences and has continued to be at the center of innovation. Anthony Horowitz is a master storyteller who has a unique ability to tell compelling stories that appeal to audiences of all ages. New Blood<\/em> is the perfect fit to be the first prime-time drama series to premiere on iPlayer and to help young audiences find a way to consume content online.\u201d<\/p>\n Horowitz added: \u201cWe have to recognize that young people don’t watch TV the way we did, and it’s very much in the spirit of New Blood<\/em> that the show will premiere on iPlayer. I couldn’t be happier that we’re going to be ‘out there’ on demand\u2014it’s a great way to launch a show which is very much about the younger generation\u2014before we settle into our seven-week, 9 p.m. slot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LONDON: New Blood, which comes from Anthony Horowitz, will premiere exclusively on BBC iPlayer ahead of its BBC One broadcast, making it the first prime-time drama to do so.<\/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":[768,769,201,770],"class_list":["post-5962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-anthony-horowitz","tag-bbc-iplayer","tag-bbc-one","tag-new-blood","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
