The Rook: trailer

What would you do if you woke up and couldn’t remember who you were?

UK drama The Rook, based on the novel of the same name by Australian author Daniel O’Malley, is coming to Stan.

This stars Emma Greenwell, Joely Richardson, Olivia Munn, Adrian Lester, Ronan Raftery, Catherine Steadman, Jon Fletcher, Shelley Conn and James D’Arcy.

An airdate is yet to be revealed.

The Rook tells the story of Myfanwy Thomas (Emma Greenwell), a woman who wakes up in the rain beside London’s Millennium Bridge with no memory of who she is and no way to explain the circle of latex-gloved dead bodies splayed around her. When Myfanwy discovers she is a high ranking official in the Checquy, Britain’s last truly secret service for people with paranormal abilities, she will have to navigate the dangerous and complex world of the agency to uncover who wiped her memory – and why she is a target.

Kari Skogland directed the premiere episode.

The Rook is produced by Lionsgate and Liberty Global (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB, LBTYK) and is adapted and co-produced by Sam Holcroft and Al Muriel, drawn from Daniel O’Malley’s novel. Lisa Zwerling (Betrayal, FlashForward, ER) and Karyn Usher (Bones, Prison Break, Backstrom) will serve as executive producers via their Carpool Entertainment production company, alongside Stephen Garrett (The Night Manager, Hunted) who also serves as executive producer under his Character 7 banner.
