People who are abandoned as babies are known as foundlings and they are often left in the first few hours and days of their lives. With no way of identifying them, they are born without truly knowing who they are.
The selection of dramas includes new thriller Safe Harbour and returning favourites Trapped, Follow the Money and Cardinal.
Cassian Harrison, Channel Editor of BBC Four commented: “As the original home of contemporary international drama on British television, BBC Four continues to fire on all cylinders, bringing choice new titles and returning favourites back to its established Saturday night slot.”
Detective John Cardinal (Billy Campbell, The Killing) is the eponymous star of the series, who joins forces with Lise Delorme (Karine Vanasse, Revenge) to hunt down a vicious serial killer in the icy wastes of a small Northern Ontario town.
Adapted from Giles Blunt’s award-winning novel Forty Words for Sorrow, the first in the John Cardinal series, the six-part drama will air later this year.
