Rellik (killer spelt backwards) tells the mind-bending tale of a serial killer case in reverse, starting with the capture of the prime suspect before winding back through time, gradually revealing the truth. DCI Gabriel Markham is at the centre of it all, as he obsessively hunts for the man who scarred him both physically and mentally.

Here are all the faces you need to know…

Richard Dormer as DCI Gabriel Markham

Disfigured Met detective Markham is a man obsessed with finding the killer who attacked him with acid and murdered seven people. He’s an unrelenting, self-destructive, alpha-male character on a mission.
