Jason Watkins and Robson Green’s new “high-stakes” British crime thriller confirms May release date

The new British crime thriller titled “The Game” by Jason Watkins and Robson Green will hit screens in May. This upcoming series promises high tension.

The psychological drama is scheduled to premiere on Monday, 12th of May at 9:00 PM. Further episodes will be aired throughout the same week, as reported by Radio Times.

The entire four-part show will broadcast daily during the same time slot each evening, culminating in a climactic ending on Thursday, May 15th.

Originally known as “Catch You Later”, the storyline of “The Game” revolves around Huw Miller, a former detective (played by Watkins), who is tormented by an unsolved case involving a ruthless serial killer who used to play sinister games with his victims before ending their lives.

In the cat-and-mouse thriller, Sunetra Sarker, known for her role on Casualty, will be co-starring with Green and Watkins.

Sunetra Sarker, who gained fame from Casualty, is joining Green and Watkins in a fast-paced, cat-and-mouse thriller series.

As I’m enjoying my well-deserved retirement, an old case keeps popping up in my thoughts. When the new neighbor, Patrick Harbottle (Green), casually mentions ‘catch you later’, the same chilling phrase a stalker used to torment me during the investigation, it feels like a sign I’ve finally found him.

Here’s what unfolds next: The neighbors engage in a tense, high-stakes game of psychological chess, while Huw finds himself grappling with his deteriorating circumstances.

Overwhelmed by the shame of a stalker claiming another victim, Huw dares everything to uncover the reality. Yet, could he be targeting the wrong individual, or is his fixation leading him dangerously near the edge?

Earlier on discussing the series, Watkins expressed his enthusiasm saying: “I’m really looking forward to working on another suspenseful drama for Channel 5, following the success of Coma. Although it’s a new project, it has all the right elements for an exhilarating experience once again.

I’m thrilled to collaborate with both Robson and Sunetra! Another intriguing project awaits us: I can hardly wait to start filming!

The Game will premiere on 5 on 12 May.
