Bookish is a stylish crime drama starring Mark Gatiss and Polly Walker. Set in London in 1946, the series is created by Mark Gatiss himself , and he's also the main star playing gay antique book seller Gabriel Book, who helps the police solve crimes by finding the answers to puzzles in the thousands of books that line his shelves.
Bridgerton's Polly Walker plays his wife Trottie while the show also boasts a stellar line-up of guest stars including Daniel Mays, Tim McInnerny, Joely Richardson and Jonas Nay.
"To misquote the movie Goodfellas: 'All my life I’ve wanted to be a detective!'," says Mark. "I couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this series to the screen, and to plunge viewers into our intoxicating version of post-War London. It's an under-examined time and an under-examined world and Bookish is the strange, funny and thrilling show that I’ve always wanted to make."
