THE first images of Barnsley actress Katherine Kelly in the upcoming drama The Crow Girl have been released.

The six-part thriller, an adaptation of Erik Axl Sund’s best-selling novel of the same name, is produced by Emmy-winning creative team Buccaneer.

It will be released in the new year on Paramount Plus.

When the bodies of unidentified young men start to show up beaten and full of the anaesthetic lidocaine, DCI Jeanette Kilburn and partner DI Lou Stanley are on the hunt for the killer.

With a lack of evidence and pressure to solve the case mounting, Jeanette enlists the help of prime suspect Carl Lowry’s psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven - played by Katherine - who offers a fresh but troubling perspective on the case.

But with the killer inching ever closer to home, Jeanette and the team are in a race against time to untangle the web of secrets.

Katherine will feature in all six episodes of the show.
