For those seeking a grittier thriller, The Ridge is a six-part psychological drama that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Starring Lauren Lyle, known for her roles in Karen Pirie and Outlander, the series follows Mia, whose trip to New Zealand for her sister's wedding takes a dark turn when she discovers her sibling has mysteriously died.
As Mia grapples with the shock, she becomes entangled in a web of secrets and lies within the small town. Convinced her sister was murdered, she launches a relentless investigation, uncovering tensions that threaten the community's fragile fabric. The synopsis teases: 'The deeper Mia investigates, the more convinced she becomes that her sister was murdered.'
Fans of BBC's The Gone, which blended Irish and Kiwi detective work, will appreciate The Ridge's similar fusion of Scottish and New Zealand culture. Lauren Lyle brings her detective expertise from Karen Pirie to this twisty crime plot. The series airs on BBC iPlayer, BBC Scotland, BBC Two, Sky Open, and NEON from Tuesday 21 October.
