We are deeply thankful to Peter McKenna for his gripping and atmospheric writing, and to Diarmuid Goggins for the unique brand of visual storytelling he brought to the project. Headline Pictures was fortunate to be able to team up with BRON Studios early on in the development process and wishes to thank all its team for their ceaseless efforts in building the transatlantic partnership between Canada, Ireland, Scandinavia and the UK for this show,&#8221; said Christian Baute.<\/p>\n<p>Too Close is a three-part drama that centers around forensic psychiatrist Emma Robinson (Watson), who must assess criminal suspect Connie &#8211; only to fall victim to Connie&#8217;s insightful, yet manipulative nature. Connie has a searing insight into Emma&#8217;s deepest insecurities and starts to brutally exploit them. Their sessions become a complex psychological game with confusing undercurrents. Ultimately, the sessions are meant to uncover what happened on the night of someone&#8217;s death. To do that, Emma must find out the truth around Connie&#8217;s complex relationship with her beautiful best friend, Ness, which seemingly triggered Connie&#8217;s heinous behavior. Other series stars include Denise Gough as Connie Mortensen, Thalissa Teixeira (<em>Two Weeks to Live<\/em>) as Ness Jones, as well as James Sives (<em>Chernobyl, Annika<\/em>), Riste\u00e1rd Cooper (<em>Quiz<\/em>), Chizzy Akudolu (<em>Holby City<\/em>), Karl Johnson, Eileen Davies (<em>Doctors, Liar<\/em>), Nina Wadia (<em>EastEnders<\/em>) and Paul Chahidi (<em>This Country<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Ruth Kenley-Letts, Head of Drama at Snowed In Productions said &#8220;Clara Salaman has written an extraordinarily powerful and compelling drama. Her writing sparkles with truthy, wit, honesty and heartbreak that keeps us on the edge of our seat and always wanting to know more. With the wonderful direction of Sue Tully and two outstanding performances from Emily Watson and Denise Gough, I couldn&#8217;t be prouder to have worked with this talented team alongside All3Media International, ITV and AMC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sally Habbershaw, EVP Americas at All3Media International said &#8220;We are delighted to be in partnership with AMC Networks on <em>Too Close<\/em>. Emily Watson and Denise Gough&#8217;s performances are spectacular, and Ruth Kenley-Lett&#8217;s yet again delivers a premium and very enticing drama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Based on the award-winning and best-selling novels from Finnish journalist Pekka Hiltunen, <em>Cold Courage<\/em> follows two women as they collide during a series of murders in present-day London. Mari, a fierce psychologist, and Lia, a shy graphic artist, are drawn together through the &#8220;Studio&#8221; &#8211; a clandestine group of like-minded people operating off the grid, dedicated to righting the wrongs of the powerful, influential and corrupt. Mari&#8217;s obsession is to stop the meteoric rise of a dangerous, charismatic politician. She needs an unknown face to infiltrate his campaign. Who better than Lia? John Simm (Doctor Who, Life on Mars) stars as populist politician Arthur Fried, and is joined by Caroline Goodall (The White Princess) and Arsher Ali (Line of Duty) alongside Finnish leads Sofia Pekkari and Pihla Viitala. Jakob Eklund, Peter Coonan, and Matteo Simoni also star. The series was adapted for the screen by BAFTA-nominated David Joss Buckley (Hinterland) and Brendan Foley (<em>The Riddle<\/em>) and is directed by Agneta Fagerstrom and Kadir Ferati Balci.
