Meet the cast of The Red King on Alibi
Anjli Mohindra leads the cast of this new police drama.
While she may be known for her roles The Lazarus Project, Vigil and even The Sarah Jane Adventures, Anjli Mohindra is now leading the cast of Alibi's latest police drama, The Red King.
The new series premieres tonight and sees Mohindra star as police sergeant Grace Narayan, who is sent on a 'punishment posting' to the island of St Jory. There, she's met with hostility from the locals and the unsolved case of a missing boy.
But as she digs deeper into the investigation, she comes to suspect that the town's past devotion to a pagan God called the Red King could have some ties to everything.
Aside from Mohindra, the cast of The Red King is packed full of familiar faces to our TV screens like Bridgerton's Adjoa Andoh, Van Der Valk's Marc Warren and The Cuckoo's Jill Halfpenny.
