Underworld star Kate Beckinsale is set for some jungle danger in ITV's new thriller The Widow.
From BAFTA-nominated screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams (Liar, The Missing), The Widow tells the story of Georgia Wells (Beckinsale) who is summoned to the jungle to unravel the mystery of her late husband's plane crash from 10 years ago.
And judging from these first-look photos below – in which Beckinsale wields a gun and generally looks rather perturbed and grubby – it seems Georgia will be in deeper trouble than she perhaps anticipated.

The official synopsis reads: "The Widow tells the story of Georgia Wells (Kate Beckinsale) who has her life turned upside-down with a phone-call in the middle of the night. Her husband of over 10 years, Will, has been reported dead after a plane crash in the Congolese jungle.
"Three years later, with her old life now a thing of the past, Georgia learns something shocking. Something that will take her to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, looking to uncover the truth about his disappearance.
What to Read Next
"Oblivious to the extent of the danger she faces, Georgia sets out across the country in pursuit of Will, while Martin Benson (Charles Dance), the closest person to family Georgia has, searches for answers elsewhere."
The eight-part series is directed by Sam Donovan (Humans, Liar) and Olly Blackburn (Donkey Punch, Glue).
Other key cast members include Alex Kingston (ER, Doctor Who), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Trapped, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald) and Louise Brealey (Sherlock, Clique).
The Widow will air on ITV this spring.
