A Confession
2020 BAFTA-nominated British crime drama A Confession is based on the true story of Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher’s investigation into the 2011 murder of 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan, and the lengths he went to in order to catch her killer.
Written and executive produced by Oscar nominee Jeff Pope (Philomena) with BAFTA-winning Broadchurch director Paul Andrew Williams, the six-episode miniseries has a 93% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics’ consensus calling it “gripping”.
Nominated for a 2020 BAFTA in the miniseries category, A Confession stars Golden Globe nominee Martin Freeman (Sherlock, Black Panther, The Lord of The Rings), Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (The Crown, Harry Potter), and BAFTA nominee Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey), with supporting actor Joe Absolom (The Bay, Doc Martin), who nabbed the show’s second BAFTA nomination last year.
