As seen on Channel 4, this is a shocking and controversial landmark drama that British TV has been waiting for, based on horrific, factual events and adapted for the screen by Tony Grisoni (Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Tideland) from David Peace’s series of groundbreaking novels. The Red Riding Trilogy follows compelling stories revolving around the manhunt for the brutal Yorkshire Ripper and the tragic, harrowing effects he has on a terrorised community living in fear.

After a failed attempt to crack Fleet Street a cynical journalist returns to his homeland of Yorkshire and finds himself assigned to report on the case of a local girl who has gone missing. But after her bizarrely mutilated body is discovered he is thrown into a sleaze infested, nightmarish world of corruption. As the killer’s identity remains a mystery, savage events spiral out of control, spanning generations and leading to a shocking climax.

Compelling, complex, gripping and genuinely disturbing, The Red Riding Trilogy is a breathtaking, neo-noir epic. Spread across three films (1974, 1980 and 1983) by three different accomplished directors (Julian Jarrold, James Marsh, Anand Tucker) it features a cast of some of Britain’s finest acting talent including Paddy Considine (Dead Man’s Shoes), Sean Bean (Lord Of The Rings) and Rebecca Hall (Frost/Nixon).
