Doctor Who actress Catherine Tate has landed her own Netflix series. The British comedy performer, best known in the UK for her sketch series The Catherine Tate Show, has created six-part women’s prison mockumentary Hard Cell for Netflix. Here’s the logline: “Tate plays multiple characters as a documentary crew follows the inmates and staff of HMP Woldsley capturing the penal system at its brutal humorous best.” Hard Cell is produced by Argonon-backed Leopard Pictures, which is behind Mackenzie Crook’s BBC show Worzel Gummidge. Executive producer Kristian Smith said: “We cannot wait to show audiences on Netflix the inside of HMP Woldsley, our fictional prison occupied by the fantastic creations of Catherine Tate. This series is funny and touching all at once, revealing what life might be like in a British women’s correctional facility.”
第二季中,侦探杜尔西·柯林斯(凯特·波克斯 Kate Box 饰)和埃迪·雷德克利夫(玛德琳·萨米 Madeleine Sami 饰)将前往澳大利亚的Top End地区。她们起初在达尔文调查雷德克利夫前任警务伙伴布什的死亡案件,然而在一个偏远小镇发现了两名Top End知名人士的尸体,这开启了一场“更紧张、更棘手”的新调查。
