Acorn TV Unveils First-Look at New Detective Drama “Ellis,” Starring Olivier Award-Winner Sharon D Clarke [VIDEO]

Today, Acorn TV unveiled a first-look of three-time Olivier Award-winner and Tony Award®-nominee Sharon D Clarke (Showtrial, Lost Boys & Fairies, Rocketman) starring in the chilling and highly anticipated feature-length detective drama, Ellis. Set to premiere this November on Acorn TV, the riveting three-part series follows DCI Ellis (Clarke), a tenacious cop who is parachuted into failing investigations.

Each two-hour episode will see Ellis, accompanied by her right-hand man 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, 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.
