Marcella is a British crime noir detective series produced, written and directed by Hans Rosenfeldt, a Swedish screenwriter and creator of the series The Bridge (adapted as The Tunnel for British audiences). The series began airing on ITV from 4 April 2016. Episodes are available on Netflix worldwide outside the UK and Ireland after it airs on ITV. On 26 August 2016, ITV announced that a second series had been commissioned, scheduled to premiere in 2017, with Hans Rosenfeldt and Anna Friel returning.

Former London detective Marcella Backland is devastated when her husband leaves her and their two children. He is head of Legal Affairs at DTG Construction, property developers effectively controlled by the Gibson family. When Marcella is visited by a senior detective on the murder squad seeking information regarding an unsolved, 11-year-old case of a serial killer who seems to have become active again, Marcella returns to the murder squad. She enters a world of online dating, prostitution, and the dubious dealings of her husband's employers while trying to save her marriage.

The production mainly filmed in London and the Port of Dover, featured briefly in Episode 7.
