Strike (BBC) con Tom Burke e Holliday Grainger

The BBC has finally been able to move forward with a fourth series of Strike, following on from its successful adaptations of J.K. Rowling's first three Cormoran Strike books [...]

Four episodes of Lethal White are likely to hit the Beeb in mid-2019, with Tom Edge is returning to write, but no directors have been chosen to helm the fourth instalment as of yet.

In the meantime, here's a synopsis of series 4 for you:

The new season follows Billy, a troubled young man who comes to private eye Cormoran Strike’s office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child and Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. Strike and Robin set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.

Show based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling crime novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith begins filming.
Tom Burke (Cormoran Strike) and Holliday Grainger (Robin Ellacott) are returning for Strike: Lethal White, the fourth story from the major new TV series for BBC One.

Strike: Lethal White (4x60') is the fourth instalment in the series and will air in 2020.

Burke (The Souvenir, War And Peace) and Grainger (Animals, The Capture) lead a cast of acclaimed British actors including Robert Glenister, who most recently starred in Curfew for Sky Atlantic, other credits include Paranoid, Journey’s End and Live By Night as well as conman Ash "Three Socks" Morgan in the hit BBC One series Hustle. Glenister also read the audio-book versions of the Robert Galbraith books including Lethal White. Natasha O’Keeffe (Peaky Blinders, Sherlock) and Kerr Logan (Alias Grace, London Irish) also return as Strike’s ex-girlfriend and Robin’s fiancé respectively.

Sue Tully is directing all four episodes. Her credits include Line Of Duty, Tin Star, The A Word and The Musketeers.

In the grips of psychosis, a young man named Billy Knight (Joseph Quinn) arrives in private detective Cormoran Strike’s (Tom Burke) office telling the story of a child he saw strangled many years ago. Strike is simultaneously hired by government minister Jasper Chiswell (Robert Glenister) to investigate Billy’s brother, Jimmy Knight (Nick Blood), who is blackmailing him. As Strike and his partner Robin work to determine how the cases might be connected, Robin goes undercover in the House of Commons.

However, Robin’s private life is unravelling as her relationship with Matthew (Kerr Logan) feels the full strain of her commitment to Strike and her work. At the same time, Strike has his own issues, a girlfriend who confesses she loves him and his complicated ex Charlotte (Natasha O’Keeffe) who is pregnant and back in the frame.
