Sam Heughan plays Christina's godfather, and is pictured moments after a sweaty workout in a dimly lit gym.
Could he be a suspect?
The show is an adaptation of Christoffer Boe’s hit Danish series “Forhøret.” Each episode will focus on Danny's interaction with another character as he learns about his daughter’s descent into delinquency and her last days on Earth.
After it was announced that Sam would be part of this star-studded cast, he tweeted: "What a cast! And brilliant creative team. So excited. Having a blast shooting this with the excellent @driesvos (though I don't understand a word he says)."
James Nesbitt commented on the excitement surrounding the cast, saying: "The calibre of the actors is amazing and they came so prepared. They were also incredibly supportive and protective of me, I think instinctively because they knew I was taking on a fairly big responsibility. It was a beautifully collaborative experience.
"I could relate to Danny, with his flaws, vulnerabilities and the devastating situation he faces, from the very first moment I picked up the script. Each episode of Suspect is an intensely theatrical double-hander, a psychological battle of wits between Danny and another character who may know something about his daughter's untimely death.”
Coming soon to Channel 4, Suspect is an eight part drama series that will be sure to have everyone on the edge of their seats!
