La Plante pens sequel to Above Suspicion for ITV
ITV has commissioned a sequel to Lynda La Plante’s Above Suspicion, which will once again star Kelly Reilly and Ciaran Hinds.
Above Suspicion: The Red Dahlia will be a three-part drama based on La Plante’s novel of the same name, which focuses on detective Anna Travis.
It will be produced by La Plante Productions, with filming starting later this year.
Reilly will once again take on the role of Travis, with Hinds playing her boss, Detective Chief Inspector Langton.
ITV director of drama Laura Mackie said: “Above Suspicion was one of the highlights of the winter season on ITV1 and I’m delighted that Lynda is bringing Anna Travis back for another gripping investigation”.
La Plante added: “The response to Above Suspicion mirrored the response to the first series of Prime Suspect which is very, very exciting. To be making the second one now is a joy.”
