Emmy, Golden Globe and Bafta nominated screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams – who also penned BBC1 thriller One of Us – say it will be their “most cinematic and ambitious series yet”.

The Widow follows Georgia Wells, a woman who has severed ties with her former life but is forced back to reality to seek the truth about her husband’s fate.

Haunted by the past and grieving for all she has lost, she is determined to discover what really happened to her husband while he was working in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The series will begin filming next winter, in Wales, Africa and the Netherlands. The cast is yet to be revealed.
