The new crime drama, Annika, has been adapted from the successful BBC Radio 4 drama by Nick Walker. The TV adaptation stars Nicola Walker as DI Annika Strandhed, reprising her performance in the titular role after providing Annika's voice for the radio drama.
The commissioning team described Nicola Walker's detective series as "a breath of fresh air with a whip-smart detective, great cases and the glorious Scottish scenery. Nicola Walker has been integral in helping us develop her character, creating a maverick female detective who not only has Norwegian ancestry but is dryly funny, a chaotic parent and a fish out of water."
