Compulsion set for Paramount+

Paramount+ has the rights to UK drama Compulsion.

The series follows Jenny, a paramedic on the verge of losing everything, who meets a stranger who seems to have the answers to her problems. But just how far is Jenny prepared to go to save her family?

The series stars Leanne Best (Cold Feet, Young Wallander), and features Anna Chancellor (The Watch, The Hour, Four Weddings & a Funeral) and veteran performer Hayley Mills (Pollyanna, Pitching In).

The series is written by Sarah Deane (Moving On, Clink), directed by Noreen Kershaw (Call the Midwife) and produced by Donna Molloy for LA Productions.

Lucy Roberts, director of sales at Eccho Rights, said: “Compulsion is a gripping thriller but with a human story at its core, and although Jenny finds herself in an extraordinary situation, international audiences will easily relate to her predicament of just wanting the best for her family.”

This debuted in the UK in April.

An airdate is yet to be announced.
