Michelle Keegan and Douglas Booth lead the cast of The Blame, made by Quay Street Productions and filming in and around London this summer for ITV1 and STV. The series is produced in association with Fifth Season, which will also handle global distribution.
Written, developed for television and executive produced by Megan Gallagher, the six part drama is based on the debut novel of the same name by Charlotte Langley.
It revolves around the discovery of the body of teenage figure skater Sophie Madsen, sending shockwaves through the town of Wakestead.
As DI Crane (Keegan) and DI Radley (Booth) dig deeper, what starts as a tragic death, spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups, and moral compromise; Ian Hart co-stars.
Matt Strevens is the series producer, with Sara Huxley as co-producer. Bex Rycroft directs episodes 1-3, and Claire Tailyour episodes 4-6.
The executive producers for ITV Studios’ Quay Street Productions are Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee; Hill is executive producer for ITV. Gallagher is lead writer alongside series co-writers Ashley Sanders and Namsi Khan.
