Lynda La Plante commissioned for new drama

26th March 2009

Award-winning writer Lynda La Plante is to make a sequel to her ratings-winning drama, Above Suspicion, starring Kelly Reilly and Ciarán Hinds, for ITV1.
 
She has been commissioned to adapt her second novel, The Red Dahlia, which features rookie detective Anna Travis. The three-part drama, Above Suspicion: The Red Dahlia, will be produced by La Plante Productions, with filming starting later this year.
 
Above Suspicion, which won audiences of more than 7m, introduced young and ambitious DC Anna Travis, who is fast-tracking her way through the ranks, eager to prove herself to be as successful as her late father. Kelly Reilly returns to the role of Anna Travis. Acclaimed actor Ciarán Hinds stars as her boss, the volatile Detective Chief Inspector Langton.
 
Director of Drama, Laura Mackie said: "Above Suspicion was one of the highlights of the winter season on ITV1 and I’m delighted that Lynda is bringing Anna Travis back for another gripping investigation."
 
Describing the new drama, Lynda La Plante said: "A copycat killing of such horror brings DC Travis and DCI Langton back together after Travis has accomplished work on three further cases. The response to Above Suspicion mirrored the response to the first series of Prime Suspect, which is very, very exciting. To be making the second one now is a joy and it’s marvellous to have had the backing of Laura Mackie and Peter Fincham at ITV1 from day one."
