‘The Chelsea Detective’ Christmas Special scored by Ian Arber will air in the UK on U&Drama at 8pm, Thursday 19th December, having premiered on Acorn TV in the US earlier this week.
‘In the Christmas special, “Everyone Loves Chloe,” former pop star and one-time darling of the tabloids, Chloe Carmichael, is found dead in her Chelsea mansion flat in the days leading up to Christmas. DI Max Arnold (Scarborough) and DS Layla Walsh (Vanessa Emme, Dublin Murders, Three Families) first suspect a drug overdose, but forensics soon establishes that Chloe had been drowned in the bath. Max and the team must contend with a string of potential suspects, including Chloe’s hard-bitten manager, a conniving journalist, and a Tory MP. Each of them has a secret connecting them to Chloe, but who was it that killed her?’
The Christmas special is the first episode of the third series which will continue airing in 2025.
