Happy Valley’s Sarah Lancashire is cuttingly cool in new Black Doves trailer

As a dedicated fan who has seen her fair share of thrillers and spy dramas, I am absolutely thrilled about Netflix’s upcoming series, Black Doves. The all-star cast, led by the captivating Sarah Lancashire, promises an exhilarating ride filled with espionage, action, and intrigue.


As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that Netflix has unveiled the final trailer for their upcoming thriller, Black Doves. This sneak peek offers an up-close glimpse at the enigmatic portrayal of Sarah Lancashire, star of Happy Valley, as a chilling spymaster.

This series is the creation of Joe Barton, who gained fame for his critically-acclaimed dramas such as Giri/Haji and The Lazarus Project. It boasts an impressive ensemble featuring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and also Lancashire, as previously mentioned.

The show presents the character of Helen Webb (Knightley), a clever, practical, devoted spouse and parent, who for the past ten years, has been secretly relaying information from her political husband to a clandestine intelligence group known as the Black Doves.

“The story unfolds as Helen’s secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is murdered, leading her enigmatic supervisor Reed (Lancashire) to recruit her old friend Sam (Whishaw) to protect her.

Helen and Sam embarked on a joint journey to discover who murdered Jason and what was behind it. This quest eventually unearthed a complex, intertwined plot connecting the shady parts of London’s criminal network with a potential international crisis.

The trailer teases espionage, action and grave danger for Helen and Sam as they inch closer to the truth, leaving room for speculation as to whether Lancashire’s mystery role is friend or foe.

Check out the newest trailer for Black Doves right now! It will be available on Netflix starting from this coming Thursday, 5th December.

From Reed’s composed attitude, it’s clear she is an accomplished spy leader. Her casual remark, “Shall I clean this up?” implies she remains unfazed in most situations – maybe even a touch annoyed by the inconsiderate actions of her subordinates.

The show, as hinted by its trailer, carries a witty blend of darkness and humor. In a recent conversation with the Royal Television Society, actors Knightley and Whishaw mentioned that they found themselves frequently laughing on set while filming.

Black Doves boasts a talented cast that includes Adeel Akhtar (from Showtrial), Andrew Buchan (Broadchurch), and Omari Douglas (It’s A Sin). What’s more exciting is that Netflix has already renewed it for a second season, ensuring loyal viewers won’t be left hanging.

(No, I will never emotionally recover from Kaos getting cancelled.)
