ITV returns to Rebus

Cameras are rolling on two new feature-length episodes of 'rested' detective drama Rebus, this time with Messiah's Ken Stott taking John Hannah's former role as the Scottish police inspector from Ian Rankin's best selling novels.

The series, originally with the somewhat miscast Mummy star, was put on hold by ITV brass after just four episodes last year, after Hannah decided he didn't want to play Rebus any more and producers looked for a new star. The original run was made via Hannah's own Clerkenwell Films and Scottish TV.

Set in the seedy criminal underworld of Edinburgh, the two new shows - now from SMG TV Productions - are based upon Rankin's novels Fleshmarket Close, involving murder in the immigrant population of the Knoxland Estate, and The Falls, in which a killer leaves distinctive clues by the butchered bodies of his victims. Claire Price (Poirot: The Hollow, The Whistle-Blower) will take on the role of Rebus's sidekick.

Rebus is written by Daniel Boyle (Inspector Morse, Hamish Macbeth, Bait). The producer is Alan J Wands (Gunpowder, Treason & Plot, The Magdalene Sisters, Beautiful Creatures) and the director is Matthew Evans (William & Mary, The Last Detective, At Home with The Braithwaites). Eric Coulter (The Cops, Taggart, Missing) is the executive producer.

Stott said: “By playing Rebus I will be taking on a role that so many people I meet tell me I ought to be playing; it has become irresistible. Daniel Boyle has created scripts that are dark but have a degree of humour that gives the role even more depth. I will also be in my hometown of Edinburgh filming during the city’s most beautiful months.”
