Acorn TV features the exclusive North American premiere of new British crime drama and Acorn TV Original miniseries MANHUNT on Monday, March 11, 2019. Based upon the memoirs of former London Metropolitan police detective DCI Colin Sutton, the new three-part ITV drama from Buffalo Pictures stars one of the most popular British actors on television in the United States,
Martin Clunes (Doc Martin, Vanity Fair, Shakespeare in Love). Clunes stars as DCI Sutton who determinedly and tenaciously pursued serial killer Levi Bellfield.
Written by Ed Whitmore (Silent Witness, Strike Back) and directed by Marc Evans (Trauma, Safe House, Hinterland), Manhunt is the real-life story of how the murder of French National, Amelie Delagrange, on Twickenham Green in August 2004 was eventually linked to two other murders. Hard working and instinctive, DCI Sutton was assigned to the case and dedicated himself to finding Amelie’s killer. With no forensics, motive or witnesses, his painstaking approach and the diligence of his fellow officers gradually led to breakthroughs in the case and to suspected serial killer Levi Bellfield. But now the hunt is on for enough evidence to arrest him and make sure he’s found guilty at trial. The miniseries co-stars Claudie Blakley (Granchester, Cranford) as Sutton’s wife, Louise.

Thank you for your posts about Manhunt, which brought the show to my attention. I watched all three episodes last night and found it absolutely riveting. Couldn't look away!
