James Nesbitt is to star in a compelling conspiracacy thriller for ITV1, Midnight Man.
The three part drama, produced by Carnival Films, tells the timely story of a terrifying conspiracy, reaching the highest echelons of power.
Nesbitt (Murphy’s Law, Jekyll, Bloody Sunday) plays Max Raban, a former journalist reduced to raking through bins for tacky celebrity stories to sell to the tabloids. But everything changes when his nocturnal rummaging uncovers a frightening world of deceit and distrust with fatal consequences.
Raban’s life begins to fall apart when his estranged wife is murdered and he’s framed for the crime, forcing him to become a fugitive. But Raban discovers a death squad is at work and he’s determined to expose the truth about the brutal killers.
The series also stars Catherine McCormack (28 Weeks Later, Elizabeth David: A Life in Recipes, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot) as Raban’s unlikely ally; Zara Turner (The Brief, Forgotten, McCallum) as his estranged wife; Rupert Graves (The Waiting Room, The Dinner Party, The Forsyte Saga) as an influential political lobbyist; Ian Puleston Davies (Silent Witness, Vincent, Dirty Filthy Love) as a newspaper editor; and Reece Dinsdale (The Chase, Ahead of the Class, Thief Takers) as an anti terrorist officer.
