A new Welsh crime drama called The One That Got Away is coming to the BBC soon, and is aiming to be your next big binge-watch.
Written by Catherine Tregenna (Law & Order UK, Doctor Who, Casualty), the series features an all-Welsh cast, including Elen Rhys, Richard Harrington, Rhian Blythe, and Corrie's Ian Puleston-Davies, to name a few.
Set in a seaside town, the series follows DI Ffion Lloyd and DS Rick Sheldon, two former lovers who must work together to solve a murder.

The killing doesn't only affect the local community, but also forces the former couple to examine their unresolved issues. There's also the possibility that a copycat killer might pop up.
If this sounds familiar, it's because it's the English-language remake of the series Cleddau, which aired on S4C last year.
What to Read Next
"Coming home to Wales to film was a joy – immersing myself in everything Welsh," Elen Rhys said. "The talented, close-knit crew worked together so well, making it a truly lovely and extraordinary experience. I felt so lucky.
"Catherine Tregenna's writing blew me away. It's not your typical crime drama; it goes much deeper. I love that there are no heroes, the characters are complex, damaged, and human; everyone is as flawed as the next. It's so true to life. To me, it's a drama about what it means to be human."

BBC Cymru Wales' Head of Commissioning Nick Andrews added: "The One That Got Away is a knotty, twisty-turny, edge-of-your-seat thriller interwoven with an electrifying love story, featuring a fantastic Welsh cast.
"BBC Cymru Wales is so pleased to be able to offer this excellent Cymru Noir to our audiences. You'll be gripped and quivering all at once – nail-biting stuff."
The series will be available to watch next week. On Tuesday, February 25 all episodes will be added to BBC iPlayer, while the first episode will air on BBC One Wales at 9.10pm.
The first two episodes will air on BBC Four on March 1 as part of St David's Day programming.
