Anthology drama series Showtrial – from the producers of Vigil and Line of Duty – returns with a brand-new cast to tell the story of a new case that grips the media and divides the nation. Notorious climate change activist Marcus Calderwood is a fierce advocate of direct, disruptive action and unapologetic about its consequences. As a result, he has as many hostile opponents as he does supporters. So when Marcus is left for dead in a roadside hit-and-run, foul play cannot be discounted. The fact that a dying Marcus named a police officer as his assailant – one with a prior grudge against him – reinforces this suspicion. If Marcus’s death really was a cold-blooded murder, what motives lay behind it? From the victim’s last breath to the jury’s final verdict, Showtrial’s layered characters and intriguing plot twists combine for a compelling drama built on a key question: When a trial is dominated by divisive issues and public outrage, can justice ever be served?
