Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, The Crow Girl follows DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Torchwood's Myles) and her partner DI Lou Stanley (Vigil's Dougray Scott) as they hunt for a killer after bodies of unidentified and beaten young men appear in Bristol, all of whom are full of the anaesthetic lidocaine.

The trailer sees a hooded figure drag a body bag into a storage lock-up as Jeanette is told another dead body has been found, before an investigation ensues.

The one-minute clip shows Jeanette and her team enlist the help of the prime suspect's psychotherapist, Dr Sophia Craven (Mr Bates vs The Post Office's Katherine Kelly), who offers a troubling perspective on the case.

For Jeanette, it's "a race against time to untangle the web of secrets to solve this mystery".

You can watch the full trailer below.
