Marcella
Detective. Witness. Suspect.
Created by Hans Rosenfeldt
On ITV1
A dark procedural built on personal disintegration, where a detective's unraveling marriage and estrangement from her children drive her into murder investigations as a form of self-preservation.
Marcella is shocked to the core of her being when her husband Jason leaves her unexpectedly, confessing he no longer loves her. Heartbroken, Marcella returns to the Met’s Murder Squad. Ten years ago Marcella gave up her fast-tracked police career to marry and devote her life to her family. With the abrupt end to her marriage and isolated from her 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son, Marcella throws herself into work to stop herself from falling apart.
