THREE TIME Olivier Award winner and Tony Award nominee Sharon D. Clarke (Showtrial, Doctor Who, Holby City) takes the lead as your soon to become favourite new crime-solver – DCI Ellis – in the hotly anticipated, gritty new detective drama Ellis.

From acclaimed writers Paul Logue (Shetland, Vera) and Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre (Murder Is Easy), comes this gripping three-partseries, that sees the sharp and driven detective arrive at a new police station, where she must make her mark investigating seemingly impossible to crack cases, in each enthralling feature length episode.

Hot on the heels of its Channel 5 transmission, Ellis arrives on DVD 18 November 2024 and will also be available on digital from 15 November, courtesy of Acorn Media International. This brilliant new series is perfect for sofa sleuths looking for their next thrilling crime fix this Winter.

After a mysterious leave of absence, DCI Ellis (Sharon D. Clarke) is called in to solve a series of tangled, controversial and emotionally complex cases in rural Northern England. Determined, rigorous and occasionally impatient, Ellis is a first-class murder detective, forensically attuned to detail, with a unique understanding of human nature and always picks up the cues on whether a person is innocent or guilty. When Ellis is parachuted into an unfamiliar police station, in a remote location, she must tackle the new role with little support or back up, aside from her new partner DS Harper (Andrew Gower – Outlander, Carnival Row, Miss Scarlet and the Duke). Together the meticulous pair must take on murders and missing persons cases across the North, as they contend with resentment from their cohorts and the locals. As a Black woman Ellis is used to being dismissed and overlooked, but the cunning detective knows this invisibility is her superpower. Fuelled by a determination for justice and a deep well of compassion, she uses it to her full advantage.

With chilling crimes paired with a tenacious lead, you don’t want to miss out on Ellis.
