Colin Morgan (The Fall, Merlin) and Charlotte Spencer (Glue, Line Of Duty) have been set as the leads in The Living And The Dead, BBC One's six episode supernatural thriller from Life On Mars and Eternal Law creators Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham. 
Despite the change in ownership, co-producing UK dramas remains at the core of BBC America's drama strategy.
