Protection is a thriller about what happens when the clandestine and morally grey witness protection system breaks down. This compelling series is created by Kris Mrksa, the acclaimed writer of White House Farm and No Escape. The series stars Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Alma’s Not Normal, Time, The Stranger), Nadine Marshall (Champion, Sherwood, Trigger Point) and Katherine Kelly (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, The Long Shadow, Criminal:UK). With additional cast including Barry Ward (Bad Sisters, Save Me) and Chaneil Kular (Sex Education).
Detective Inspector Liz Nyles (Finneran); a single mum, juggling a difficult divorce and a sick father, finds herself at the heart of a security breach within her witness protection unit. Professionally compromised by a secret affair with a colleague, she is determined to uncover the true source of corruption within the police. Liz will stop at nothing to redeem herself, the reputation of her lover, and to keep her witnesses and her own family safe. Even if it means breaking all the rules.
This is the story of a tough, but increasingly isolated and under suspicion police officer, as she is pulled into a dangerous conspiracy where nothing is as it seems.
The series is inspired by a real-life witness protection officer who also acted as a series consultant, and is produced by the multi-award-winning production company New Pictures (Des, White House Farm, The Long Shadow, Dalgliesh). Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Willow Grylls (Des, The Missing, The Long Shadow) and Charlie Hampton (The Spanish Princess, The Deceived) serve as executive producers for Protection, alongside Elaine Pyke and Kris Mrksa
