BritBox renews The Beast Must Die

Entitled A Sword in my Bones, it is based on an original story by Gaby Chiappe, creator of the first series.

Billy Howle is set to reprise his role as the talented but troubled Detective Nigel Strangeways, who investigated the hit and run of a six-year-old boy in the first series.

Howle said: “A lot of hard work by all the cast and crew went into making the first original drama for BritBox, during a pandemic, and it seems to have paid off.
