The Red King is a suspenseful thriller series on Alibi which has overtones of both Shetland and classic 1973 movie The Wicker Man.
The drama stars Anjli Mohindra, Adjoa Andoh, Marc Warren and Jill Halfpenny and focuses on the unsolved disappearance of a teenage boy on an island with an eerie past. The Lazarus Project star Anjli Mohindra plays police sergeant Grace Narayan, who was once a high flyer but is forced into a ‘punishment posting’ on the small, antiquated island of St. Jory. And to get to the bottom of the cold-case disappearance of youngster Cai, she must battle scarce evidence, strange locals and the island’s past devotion to a pagan god called The Red King and the cult of the True Way.
