Michelle Keegan has undergone a stunning metamorphosis, stepping into the brooding shoes of Detective Inspector Emma Crane for her next major television project. The acclaimed actress, fresh from the global success of 'Fool Me Once', is set to headline ITV's gripping new thriller, 'Blame'.
In a series of captivating first-look images, Keegan is virtually unrecognisable as the determined and complex police detective. The stills showcase her character's intense demeanour, a stark contrast to her previous roles, signalling a powerful and compelling performance to come.
The brand-new three-part drama, penned by the BAFTA-nominated writer Simon Tyrrell, promises to be a tense and atmospheric whodunit. The plot centres on a deadly hit-and-run that shatters a community, with Keegan's DI Crane at the heart of the investigation.
'Blame' is being hailed as a significant and ambitious acting venture for Keegan, marking a deliberate move towards more serious, dramatic territory. An insider revealed the project is a "major" one for the star, showcasing her formidable range and cementing her status as a leading lady in British television.
The production is a family affair for Keegan, who was able to film close to her mother's home, allowing for precious time with family between takes. This new role demonstrates her strategic career choices, carefully selecting challenging parts that push her artistic boundaries.
Fans of the superstar can expect a masterclass in suspense when 'Blame' premieres on ITV1 and the ITVX streaming platform later this year.
