BBC One – New Blood |
New Blood is a British television drama series created by Anthony Horowitz and produced by Eleventh Hour Films for BBC One. The first three episodes of the programme were made available on BBC iPlayer on 2 June 2016, ahead of the BBC One premiere on 9 June. It received over 4 million viewers.
Stefan Kowolski and Arash Sayyad are junior investigators; both are second-generation immigrants. Initially thrown together by chance and common sporting interests, they later discover that they are working two different angles of the same case. Stefan is also attracted to Arash's sister.
Kowolski is a junior investigator with the United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office, while Sayyad is a uniformed constable in London's police service, with ambitions of becoming a detective. In the first case, he secures a second posting as a Trainee Detective Constable (T/DC), having obtained poor reviews in an earlier attempt.
At the conclusion of the first case, the BBC confirmed that further episodes would be broadcast, and under the title "The next case..." ran a short trailer of action shots from the next case. The BBC website confirmed that the second case (in two episodes) would be broadcast in June and July 2016, with the third case (also in two episodes) following in July.
The main cast for the first series include:
