Production started last week in Vancouver on 10 episodes of the TV suspense-drama Rogue, starring Thandie Newton (Mission Impossible 2, Crash) and Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy, Alice In Wonderland).
Vancouvers actors Ian Tracey, Jonathan Holmes, Sarah Jeffery and Jarod Joseph are also in the cast alongside Newton, who stars as Grace, a morally and emotionally-conflicted undercover detective who is tormented by guilt over her son’s death.
The cop’s search for the truth is further complicated by her forbidden relationship with the crime boss (Csokas) who may have played a hand in the crime.
The series is a Canada-U.K. co-production by Entertainment One and Greenroom Entertainment, produced in participation with DIRECTV. Rogue will air on Movie Central in B.C.
Series creator Matthew Parkhill (The Caller) serves as writer and supervising producer. In addition to Newton and Csokas, the cast includes Ian Hart and Martin Donovan. Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire) directs the first episode.
