Death in Paradise legend Ralf Little's new psychological thriller gets release date confirmed with extra bonus treat for fans

Channel 4 has revealed when fans can expect Hunting Alice Bell to land – and there isn’t too long to wait!

The upcoming six-part psychological thriller, which stars Death in Paradise favourite Ralf Little among its ensemble cast, will debut on Channel 4 on Wednesday 11 November at 9pm, with the second episode airing the following day at the same time.

And in another treat for fans, the full boxset will be available to stream following the transmission of the first episode.

The series, which has been created by David Baddiel and film critic Peter Bradshaw, is built around one mystery, while also throwing shades of family drama and social satire into the mix.

The official synopsis reads: "Alice Bell is a former nurse, and also the lover, and accomplice, of a notorious anaesthetist serial killer. She is presently living in Britain under a new identity.

"When, online, Fran Da Silva is accused of being Alice Bell, her happy family life implodes in a wave of mob hate."

It continues: "Then she discovers she’s not the only woman to suffer this fate. Fran and the other accused women band together to fight back and clear their names. But as they battle to prove their innocence, what if one of the group is lying – and is the real Alice Bell..?"

Alongside Little, the cast also features Alexandra Roach (Nightsleeper) as Fran, Amanda Abbington (Sherlock) as Julie, Emily Barber (MobLand) as Vanessa, Toni O’Rourke (God’s Creatures) as Ros and Christina Bennington (Halo) as Charlotte.

Also starring are Rudi Dharmalingam (The Lazarus Project) as Nick, and Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible) as Dr Jason Nash.

The series was announced last year, with Rachel Gesua, senior executive producer at Clapperboard Studios, saying at the time in a statement: “Hunting Alice Bell is a story for our times, exploring what happens when the online mob come for a group of ordinary women and the devastating effect that can have.

She added: "David, Peter and the writing team have created a bold and provocative drama, brimming with unforgettable characters and brought to life by the most extraordinary cast. We are thrilled to be working with the team at Channel 4 and Sphere Abacus on such a compelling drama.”

Hunting Alice Bell is coming to Channel 4 on Wednesday 11 November at 9pm.
