BBC Two has confirmed the premiere date for its psychological crime drama The Fall, starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan. The five-part series will debut later this month and centers on a detective brought in from London to help solve a string of murders in Belfast.
Anderson plays DSI Stella Gibson, whose calm precision contrasts with the chaotic brutality of the crimes she investigates. Dornan portrays the killer, Paul Spector, offering viewers a dual narrative that explores both the pursuer and the pursued.
The series is written by Allan Cubitt and blends psychological tension with procedural drama, offering a nuanced look at obsession, violence, and control. Its Belfast setting adds a moody backdrop that enhances the show’s unsettling atmosphere.
The Fall has already garnered early buzz for its intense performances and slow-burn storytelling.
