BBC confirms start date for Rebus, based on the bestselling novels by Ian Rankin

BBC One has announced a brand new series of Rebus, based on the bestselling novels by Ian Rankin, but when is the start date?

At odds with a job increasingly driven by corporate technocrats, involved in a toxic affair he knows he needs to end, and all but supplanted in his daughter’s life by his ex-wife’s wealthy new husband, Rebus begins to wonder if he still has a role to play – either as a family man or a police officer. The Ipcress File actor Brian Ferguson also joins the cast, as does The Nevers’ Amy Manson, Scot Squad’s Neshla Caplan, and Vigil’s Noof Ousellam. Stuart Bowman (The Serpent, Bodyguard), Caroline Lee Johnson (Trying, Ridley), Sean Buchanan (Censor, Mary Queen of Scots), Thoren Ferguson ( The Midwich Cuckoos) and Michelle Duncan (Baptise, Elizabeth is Missing) also appear.
