Channel 4 has confirmed the release date of its new “seductive” thriller and viewers do not have to wait long.
At the start of the year, Channel 4 announced production had begun on the “gripping and provocative” thriller, Careless.
Now it has been confirmed that the four-part drama will be launched on Wednesday, December 2, at 9pm on Channel 4.
Channel 4’s new thriller Careless
Careless is set to feature House of the Dragon star Solly McLeod and Robyn Malcolm from After The Party.
They will be joined by Bridgerton’s Katie Leung and Rake’s Richard Roxburgh.
The show will follow Scottish backpacker Robbie, played by McLeod, after he gets a job in Sydney caring for music legend Mike, played by Roxburgh from Rake, who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
The pair grow closer and Robbie builds trust with Mike’s wife Angela, played by Malcolm.
Over the series, it becomes clear that something from Robbie’s past could put Mike and Angela in danger.
On the show, Claire Mundell, one of the Executive Producers, said: “The series explores themes of redemption, forgiveness and rehabilitation, all of which are woven into the DNA of the story.
“It asks difficult questions about how society responds to children who commit serious crimes before they're old enough to fully understand the consequences of their actions, and how we care for young people who have experienced profound trauma.
“While Careless initially presents itself as a gripping psychological thriller, it gradually reveals the emotional truth behind Robbie's past.
“As the audience uncovers what happened to him and the lasting impact it has had on his life, the series becomes an exploration of trauma, compassion and the possibility of redemption.
“Ultimately, it's a nuanced story that examines whether we truly provide vulnerable young people with the support they need, while offering hope that it's possible to confront your past, find forgiveness and move forward.”
