Katherine Kelly’s “nerve-shredding” new UK crime thriller: A “heart-pounding journey” for the Slow Horses fans

Katherine Kelly (and Slow Horses) fans – there’s an upcoming show you might like to know about.

Earlier, it was made known that the well-known actor is set to take on a new character for an upcoming Channel 4 crime series. Given her impressive portrayal in the recent mystery series The Crow Girl, we believe you won’t want to skip this one.

Under the title “In Flight“, this fresh UK production is a joint creation by director Adam Randall, who has previously worked on “Slow Horses”. If you’re a fan of the popular spy series on Apple TV+, chances are you’ll find plenty to enjoy here as well.

However, could you tell me more about this? It appears that Channel 4 is unveiling a new show, which has been jointly created and penned by Mike Walden, the mastermind behind Marcella. This upcoming series will feature Kelly in the role of Jo Conran, a single mom who also works as a flight attendant.

The summary continues, stating that her son is currently serving a 15-year term in a Bulgarian prison, maintaining his innocence for a crime he claims he didn’t perpetrate.

According to Channel 4, the narrative unfolds in the rapidly changing and demanding environment of international air travel, where we will join Jo on her tireless mission to safeguard her loved ones.

Who else has been cast in Channel 4’s In Flight?

Currently, Katherine Kelly is experiencing a significant moment in her career, following her recent appearance in the hit ITV show titled “Protection.” Notably, this series also features Siobhan Finneran from “Happy Valley.

Additionally, joining Kelly in the show “In Flight” are Stuart Martin, known for his role in “Miss Scarlet,” and Ashley Thomas, famed for his work on “Them.

I’m thrilled to mention some remarkable talents joining the cast! We’ve got Corinna Brown from Heartstopper, Bronagh Waugh who shines in Ridley, Ambreen Razia, a favorite from Ted Lasso, and lastly, Harry Cadby, known for his work in Dope Girls. It’s going to be an incredible ride with such talented company!

Who is behind In Flight?

Labeled as “tough on nails,” this six-episode miniseries is a joint creation of Mike Walden (known for Marcella) and Adam Randall (Slow Horses), with Chris Baugh (Tin Star) taking the director’s chair. This gripping series is also brought to life by Buccaneer, the team behind The Crow Girl and The Burning Girls productions.

According to an official announcement, Walden and Randall hinted at the upcoming series, revealing that “In Flight” will be their unique take on the noir genre, offering a blend of high-stakes drama, fashionable style, romantic suspense, and pulse-pounding action, featuring memorable characters.

Jo is someone we’ve grown fond of. She’s an ordinary woman navigating through extraordinary challenges. We’re eager for the audience to get acquainted with her.

The Executive Producer at Buccaneer, Anna Burns, expressed her enthusiasm by stating: “We are thrilled beyond words about the team we have assembled to breathe life into Mike and Adam’s captivating work. We feel privileged to be producing this series for Channel 4 and can’t wait to embark on Jo’s exhilarating adventure with our viewers.

When is the release date for Katherine Kelly’s In Flight?

A release date has not been announced for In Flight just yet.

Production on the show began in November 2024, but it’s possible that a premiere as late as the end of 2025 might not happen. Instead, it may be more likely that the show will air in early 2026.

As they patiently await new projects from Katherine Kelly, fans have the opportunity to rediscover some of her standout television performances. Trust me, it will be well worth your time.

In Flight is coming to Channel 4.
