Exclusive to BritBox, this gritty London-set thriller stars award-winning actors Gemma Whelan (Game of Thrones, Gentleman Jack) and Jimmy Akingbola (Kate and Koji, Ted Lasso).
Whelan plays DS Sarah Collins, an anti-corruption officer surrounded by morally ambiguous and frequently sexist colleagues. When a veteran police officer and a 15-year-old Libyan refugee fall to their deaths from the top of a tower block and one of the only witnesses disappears, Sarah and her partner DC Steve Bradshaw (Akingbola) are plunged head-first into a double mystery as they try to piece together what happened.
Based on a novel by former Metropolitan Police detective Kate London, The Tower also stars Emmet J Scanlan (The Fall, Peaky Blinders) and has already been recommissioned for a second season. Whelan can also be seen in DI Ray, currently available to binge on BritBox.
