Netflix UK Acquires Freeform’s London-Set Murder Mystery Series ‘Guilt’

Netflix UK has acquired Guilt, Freeform’s London-set murder mystery starring Daisy Head and Billy Zane. All ten episodes of the series will be available to stream on the service.

Created by Kathryn Price and Nichole Millard, Guilt follows Grace Atwood, played by Head, an American student living in London who becomes the prime suspect in the savage murder of her roommate, Molly. As Grace becomes a target for the press and social media, her older sister Natalie, played by Emily Tremaine, leaves her life in Boston and heads to London to defend her.

The case takes them from underground sex clubs to the highest levels of the royal family. The whodunit was inspired by real-life cases including that of Amanda Knox. Zane leads the ensemble alongside Head and Tremaine, with Cristian Solimeno, Naomi Ryan, Simona Brown, Zachary Fall, Kevin Ryan and Sam Cassidy also starring. Anthony Stewart Head, Daisy’s father, also appears.

Guilt was filmed on location in London and is a co-production of Sea to Sky Entertainment and BV Family Productions, with Gary Fleder directing the pilot. It aired on Freeform in the US last summer, but the network cancelled it after one season.
