Code Zero, a crime thriller about a heist gone wrong from Two Brothers Pictures, has secured an ITV commission, with Banijay Entertainment’s All3Media International handling global distribution.
Created and written by James Hall (Death in Paradise) and directed by Ashley Way, the series is set to star Faye Marsay. Polly Hill, director of drama at ITV, commented, “This is a story that unfolds at a breathtaking pace as a police drama, and a robbery that doesn’t quite go to plan. As a young officer on the first day of the job fears for his life and presses his code zero button, it’s a race to find him and the money that is stolen in a way that is both thrilling and surprising right to the end, and which will keep viewers gripped.”
Jack and Harry Williams, Sarah Hammond, Daisy Mount and Alex Mercer EP on behalf of Two Brothers Pictures. Filming for Code Zero is taking place in Cardiff and South Wales, with support from Creative Wales.
“The brilliant team at Two Brothers Pictures have an exceptional track record of delivering fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat thrillers that resonate with audiences around the globe, so we’re thrilled to partner with them again on Code Zero,” said Lauren Jackson, VP of scripted content at All3Media International. “It’s also exciting to see James Hall, best known for creating beloved, long-running detective series, entering into the crime thriller space with a script that is ambitious, fast-paced and razor-sharp. With an exceptional ensemble cast led by Adolescence’s Faye Marsay bringing the series’ complex and compelling characters to life, Code Zero promises to be a distinctive, gripping and hugely entertaining drama that also complements hit series on our slate like Trigger Point.”
