‘The Long Call’ featuring a score by Samuel Sim starts airing Monday 25th October, 9pm on ITV. The new detective drama is based on the novel by Ann Cleeves and stars Ben Aldridge, Declan Bennett, Pearl Mackie, Martin Shaw and Juliet Stevenson.
‘The Long Call follows detective Matthew Venn as he returns to the small North Devon community he grew up in with his husband and begins investigating a murder whilst coming to terms with his own traumatic past, having been excommunicated by his family and the church community they lived in.
As Matthew delves deeper into the murder investigation, he finds that the case takes an unexpected turn when he’s pulled further back into the religious community he grew up in and must confront an unresolved past that he has never been able to let go of.’
