Grounded in the terrifying realities of life on the beat, The Tower revolves around a shocking event in London’s East End in which a veteran cop and teenage girl are killed, and a rookie cop and five-year-old boy go missing…their seemingly only connection, the tower where the incident took place. Charged with figuring out what happened is DSI Sarah Collins (Gemma Whalen, Game of Thrones, Killing Eve), whose investigation takes her into the dark heart of policing in a complex and diverse city. Based on the novel by Kate London, a former detective who spent eight years in the Metropolitan Police’s homicide squad, the series co-stars Jimmy Akingbola (Kate & Koji, upcoming Bel-Air), Emmett J Scanlan (Peaky Blinders, Gangs of London) and Tahirah Sharif (Casualty, The Haunting of Bly Manor). Patrick Harbison (Homeland, 24) serves as an executive producer in addition to writing the three-part drama based on the book by former UK detective Kate London. All episodes premiere on 12/1.
