Torchwood star's "twisting" new thriller The Guest confirms release date – with extra treat for fans
Eve Myles and Gabrielle Creevy lead the brand new drama.
The BBC has announced when Eve Myles fans can catch the Torchwood icon's latest drama series, The Guest, which will premiere on television and iPlayer in a matter of weeks.
The synopsis for The Guest, courtesy of the BBC, reveals that it "centres on the toxic and beguiling relationship between a successful business owner, Fran (Myles), and her employee, Ria (Black Doves star Gabrielle Creevy)".
It continues: "Ria has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world. So, when she starts cleaning for Fran, she’s intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life, and when Ria flourishes, an intense friendship is forged.
"However, when Fran's advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots. What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat and mouse. But just who is playing who?"
Described as a "gripping" and "twisting" thriller by the broadcaster, The Guest will premiere on BBC One at 9pm on Monday 1st September.
And in an extra treat for engrossed viewers, the whole series will be available as an iPlayer box set that same evening, making it the perfect candidate for a weeknight binge-watch.
