The upcoming series signifies the screenwriting debut of Marlon James, a laureate of the Booker Prize, and is known for its intense, raw, and captivating portrayal in the genre of crime noir across five episodes.

Following the official summary: “Get Millie Black” introduces us to Millie-Jean Black, an extraordinary police detective who leaves Scotland Yard and goes back home to Jamaica. Not long after her return, she finds herself investigating a missing persons case that could potentially reveal secrets she might not be ready to face head-on.

Get Millie Black offers an intimate and genuine portrayal of Kingston that hasn’t been presented on screen earlier. The story unfolds from the unique viewpoint of Millie (played by Tamara Lawrance) – a girl who was born in the island, grew up in London, but identifies as both British and Jamaican. However, she seems to be connected neither fully to Britain nor Jamaica.

This narrative features an array of indelible characters, including Hibiscus (Chyna McQueen), a renowned figure from the gullies; Curtis (Gershwyn Eustache Jnr), a dedicated member of the Jamaican Police Force who must conceal his romantic life from his colleagues; Luke Holborn (Joe Dempsie), a cunning Scotland Yard Inspector; and Dorothy ‘Patra’ Smith, the proprietor of a go-go club with ties to the underworld.
