Inspector Ellis- Acorn TV Original

PREMIERE| New Episodes on Mondays

Each two-hour episode will see Inspector Ellis (Sharon D Clarke, Showtrial, Lost Boys & Fairies, Rocketman), accompanied by her right-hand man Detective Sergent (DS) Harper, played by Andrew Gower (The Winter King, Carnival Row, Outlander), arrive at a different local police station, where she will have to win over the local detectives and immerse herself in the cases she's come to solve. As a Black female cop, Inspector Ellis is used to being dismissed and overlooked but remains focused on her work as a first-class murder detective, fueled by a determination for justice and a deep well of compassion for those who need it.

Episode 1, "Hanmore"

When the body of 18-year-old Rowan Edwards is found in a car, partly submerged in a lake, DCI Ellis is called in by Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) Alison Leighton to take over this investigation and get results fast. Rowan's mother was a Member of Parliament, so the press is all over it, and they need an arrest. Rowan's girlfriend, Maggie, who was with him, has not been seen since. The current Senior Investigating Officer (SIO), Belmont, is less than impressed to have been shunted off the case, while DS Chet Harper, a keen detective in his early 30s, is assigned to help Inspector Ellis.
