Sky Atlanic has released a trailer for its upcoming drama series Save Me, which features a cast that includes Suranne Jones (Doctor Foster), Lennie James (The Walking Dead) and Stephen Graham (This is England), Jason Flemyng (Jamestown). Check it out below, along with the official synopsis…
The uniquely British drama introduces a unique and unlikely hero in Nelson ‘Nelly’ Rowe (Lennie James) – a man who ‘likes a drink’, who lives with whichever woman he happens to be sleeping with at the time – often more than one and sometimes more than two. He is the life and soul of his local boozer: a charmer, a chancer, a fighter, a liar and, at his age, a man who should know better.
Nelly’s world is turned upside down when he is arrested and accused of kidnapping the 13-year-old daughter he barely knew existed. Jody’s mother, Claire (Suranne Jones) who shared a ‘summer of love’ with Nelly 14 years ago, is convinced of his guilt. So Nelly sets out to clear his name, find the real perpetrator and save his daughter.
With the help of his community, Nelly will stop at nothing in his life-changing quest for the truth. It’s a a journey that will challenge him to be a better man, and atone for his past mistakes, not least towards Claire. But the further he travels, the more he realises the answers to his quest lie closer to home than he could ever have thought…
Save Me is set to premiere in February 2018.
