The Killing Kind, a British legal thriller starring Merlin's Colin Morgan, is coming to Netflix on 7th September.
Based on Jane Casey's novel of the same name, the six-part series is currently listed on the streamer's 'worth the wait' section.
Originally released in 2023, the drama follows Ingrid Lewis (Emma Appleton), a successful barrister who finds herself stalked by John Webster (Morgan), the same man she previously defended in court.
According to the synopsis: "Webster was accused of harassment and stalking by an ex-girlfriend, and in court, Ingrid defended him, winning the case. Following the trial, Ingrid got close to Webster – too close – and when she tried to exit the relationship, he turned on her and her world imploded."
Jericho's Elliot Barnes-Worrell, Casualty's Olivia D'Lima, Unforgotten's Sara Powell and A Very British Scandal's Nicholas Rowe round out the cast.

What to Read Next
While the series has yet to receive an official score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Killing Kind has impressed critics.
"Excellently paced and satisfyingly unpredictable, the combination of Ingrid and John's fatal attraction-esque relationship and the plot's incessant twists and turns makes for a proper hold-your-breath affair," wrote The London Evening Standard.
"Fans of dark thrillers will find The Killing Kind a worthy viewing choice," agreed Common Sense Media.
Meanwhile, Yahoo! Movies quipped: "The Killing Kind is a moody courtroom drama, which glosses over predictable plot twists, using solid soundtrack choices and cutting-edge camerawork. Thankfully, this polished piece of mediocrity is salvaged by an epic ensemble cast on good form."
When the show was first announced, Morgan said: "Getting the opportunity to explore a more dark and complex role with John Webster has been enlightening and such fun.
"Working with the brilliant Emma Appleton has already been such a highlight, along with the rest of the incredible cast. The story had me hooked from page one."
The Killing Kind will land on Netflix on 7th September.
