ITV commissions crime thriller 'Payback'
Starring Morven Christie, Peter Mullan and Prasanna Puwanarajah
ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill has commissioned six-part crime thriller Payback, produced by Jed Mercurio’s HTM Television, starring Morven Christie, Peter Mullan and Prasanna Puwanarajah.
It's written by acclaimed screenwriter Debbie O’Malley.
A compelling character-led series, Payback follows Lexie Noble, played by Morven Christie (The Bay, The A Word, Ordeal by Innocence), as she becomes entangled in a perilous police operation to topple a notorious crime lord,
Cal Morris, played by Peter Mullan (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Underground Railroad, Ozark).
​HTM Television’s Creative Director, Jed Mercurio (Line of Duty, Bodyguard, DI Ray) is working alongside Polly Hill, Madonna Baptiste (DI Ray, Stephen, Black Mirror) and Diederick Santer on behalf of BritBox International.
Jed will executive produce the series, alongside Madonna Baptiste, Debbie O’Malley and Diederick Santer on behalf of BritBox International.
Payback will be directed by Jennie Darnell (Trigger Point, Line of Duty, Holby City) and Andrew Cumming (Clique, The Origin, Cold Feet) and produced by Eric Coulter (The Control Room, Shetland, Bodyguard).
​
The drama will be filmed in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas.
BritBox International will co-produce the series and be the exclusive home to the series in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. The BritBox deal was negotiated by Hat Trick International, which also represents the show globally.
"After a thrilling finale, ITV have confirmed their bomb disposal drama Trigger Point
will return for a second season." Radio Times
