GOT and Doctor Who stars in new BBC crime thrillerSimon Ridgway - BBC

The first images of Game Of Thrones alum Iwan Rheon and Doctor Who star Sacha Dhawan's upcoming crime thriller Wolf are here.

Airing on the BBC later this year, Wolf is based on author Mo Hayder's Jack Caffery series and will star Ukweli Roach (Blindspot, Humans) as DI Jack Caffery.

An official synopsis for Wolf describes Caffery as a young man who tries to find himself over the course of the series' events. Obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10-year-old brother in the '90s, Jack tries to right the wrongs of others around him — but at what cost?

Meanwhile, at an isolated house in Monmouthshire, the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family have found themselves victim to a psychopath’s cruel games. When the two stories collide, the series turns into a nail-biting and deeply disturbing race against time.

Megan Gallagher (Borderliner, Suspicion) has adapted the series for TV with Hartswood Films.
