Yahoo News First look at Suranne Jones & Walking Dead star's drama
Doctor Foster's Suranne Jones has a chilling reunion with The Walking Dead's Lennie James in the first look at new Sky Atlantic drama Save Me.
Lennie James is collaborating once again with the producers of Line of Duty to write and star in the story of Nelly Rowe, a father who is desperately searching for the missing daughter he barely knows.
Targeted as the chief suspect in his daughter's disappearance, Nelly embarks on a journey to clear his name that will see him save the lives of others and reconnect with a woman (Suranne Jones) with whom he shared one summer of passion 13 years earlier.
Lennie James and Suranne Jones will be starring in Save Me - previously called Gone - along with Stephen Graham, best known for Taboo and Boardwalk Empire.
"Everyone knows someone like Nelly," Lennie James recently teased. "He's the fella constantly at the end of the bar. The fella that can't help himself, never really grew up and has wasted who he could have been.
"They are usually the cautionary tale. They are almost never the hero. In Save Me, Nelly might just be..."

Save Me is directed by BAFTA-winning The Secret, The Last Kingdom and Primeval veteran Nick Murphy from a script written by Lennie James himself.
Suranne Jones also recently signed up for her potential international breakthrough, a reunion with her Scott & Bailey writer Sally Wainwright for HBO and BBC One's period drama Gentleman Jack.
