Airdate: Ragdoll

UK serial killer thriller, Ragdoll, from the producers of Killing Eve, will screen next week at Foxtel on Demand.

The six-part series, described as darkly witty and imaginative, is based on the novel by Daniel Cole.

It stars Henry Lloyd-Hughes (The Irregulars, Killing Eve), Thalissa Teixeira (Too Close, The Musketeers) and Lucy Hale (The Hating Game, Pretty Little Liars).

The ensemble cast includes Douggie McMeekin (Chernobyl, The Crown), Ali Cook (Emmerdale), Lee Byford (Killers Anonymous), Perry Jaques (Blue Iguana), Phil Aizlewood and Rene Costa.

The writing team is led by Freddy Syborn (Ms Marvel, Bad Education) and executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle of Sid Gentle Films (Killing Eve, The Durrells, SS-GB).

Six people have been murdered, dismembered and sewn into the shape of one grotesque body suspended from the ceiling in a block of London flats – nicknamed the ‘Ragdoll.’ Assigned to the shocking case are newly reinstated DS Nathan Rose (Lloyd-Hughes); his best friend and boss, DI Emily Baxter (Teixeira); and the unit’s new recruit, DC Lake Edmunds (Hale).

The ‘Ragdoll Killer’ taunts the police by sending them a list of his next victims, with Rose’s name among them. And with those victims to protect, our heroes soon come under intense public scrutiny. A gruesomely imaginative serial killer thriller, Ragdoll captures the fascinating but flawed friends struggling with the consequences of institutionalisation and trauma.

Ragdoll is executive produced and commissioned by AMC and UKTV’s Alibi, and executive produced by Sid Gentle Films Ltd. (Killing Eve), with Freddy Syborn (Ms. Marvel, Bad Education) as lead writer and executive producer.

Weekly from Saturday November 13 on Foxtel on Demand.
