Keira Knightley is heading to the small screen for a new Netflix drama. She's starring in the intriguing-sounding Black Doves.
The new show hails from Giri/Haji and The Lazarus Project showrunner Joe Barton, and the drama will see Knightley as Helen, a woman with a secret identity who embarks on a passionate affair.
When her lover falls victim to London’s shadowy underworld, Helen’s employers send an old friend, Sam, to protect her. The two of them soon embark on a high octane adventure set against a backdrop of diplomatic tension and Christmas.
This is just one of a slew of new projects announced by the streaming service for production in the UK; other titles including Department Q, an adaptation of a Danish novel series of the same name by Jussi Adler-Olsen, which and tells the story of an Edinburgh detective on the hot pursuit of a cold case. It comes from The Crown producers Left Bank, so you know it'll look premium. There's also a Bank Of Dave sequel in the works.
