The BBC have released new photos from Jenna Coleman and Tom Glynn-Carney’s gritty upcoming crime drama The Jetty.
Jenna, 38, portrays Detective Ember Manning in the new series. The character played Tom, 29 – best known for his role as Aegon II Targaryen in HBO drama House Of Dragon – has not yet been revealed.
The new show also stars Archie Renaux, known for his roles in The Greatest Beer Run, Shadow and Bone, and Romulus.
The four-part series follows the aftermath of a fire tearing through a lake house in the aptly named Detective Ember’s scenic Lancashire town.
Ember attempts to find out how the fire links to a podcast journalist investigating a missing person’s cold case as well as a disturbing ‘love’ triangle between a man in his twenties and two underage girls.

The unfortunate truth threatens to destroy Ember’s life, forcing her to re-evaluate everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the town she’s always called home.
As much a coming-of-age story as a detective thriller, The Jetty asks big questions about sexual morality, identity and memory, in the places that Me Too has left behind.
Jenna told the BBC of the project: ‘Working with BBC and Firebird Pictures on bringing the complex and enigmatic character of Ember Manning to life has been an incredible experience.
‘I can’t wait for everyone to meet this new heroine and to find out what’s lurking beneath the surface of The Jetty.’
The series also stars female actresses Ruby Stokes (Lockwood & Co., Rocks, Una), Weruche Opia (High Desert, Slumberland, I May Destroy You), and Amelia Bullmore (Happy Valley, The Larkins, Scott and Bailey).
The cast is completed by Matthew McNulty (The Rising, Domina, The Terror), Ralph Ineson (Nosferatu, The Witch, Green Knight);
David Ajala (Italian Studies), Nina Barker-Francis (The Flash), Miya Ocego (Wreck, I Hate Suzie);
Elliot Cowan (Fifteen-Love, The Crown), Arthur Hughes (Then Barbara Met Alan, Help), Dominic Coleman (Paddington, Trollied), and Ruaridh Mollica (Sebastian, Red Rose).
The Jetty was written and created by Cat Jones and produced by Firebird Pictures, owned by the BBC, for BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
The series was directed by Marialy Rivas (Young & Wild, Perry Mason, Princesita), and produced by Natasha Romaniuk.
