Turning one
of Ann Cleeves’ Shetland crime novels into a powerful two-part murder mystery
for BBC One is now under way.
Acclaimed
Scots actor Douglas Henshall, as well as Shetland’s own Steven Robertson and
Sandra Voe are now in the isles for the 10-day shooting.
The TV drama
Shetland, based on Ann Cleeves’ Red Bones, the third book of her Shetland
Quartet, is being produced by ITV Studios for the BBC and due to be screened in
November this year.
The
production for prime time television is the most important Shetland has ever
seen.
Filming has
been taking place in Lerwick, Bressay and on board the ferry Leirna on Tuesday,
and is due to move to Whiteness on Wednesday.
When the
young archaeologist Hattie James (Gemma Chan) discovers a set of human remains,
the island community is intrigued to know if it’s an ancient find or a
contemporary mystery.
When an elderly
woman is shot on her land in a tragic accident, detective Jimmy Perez (played
by Douglas Henshall) finds himself at the centre of two feuding families whose
envy, greed and bitterness has divided the surrounding community.
Perez is
described as possessing a bone dry sense of humour and an idealistic desire to
protect his beloved Shetland from inevitable change.
