Channel 4 Buys Eagle Eye Detective Series ‘Patience’ Starring ‘Breaking Bad’s Laura Fraser

Channel 4 has bought the 'Patience' detective drama series starring Laura Francis and Ella May Purvis from Eagle Eye and Beta Film.

Fraser is Detective Bea Metcalf, the first person to spot the talents of Patience Evans (Ella Maisy Purvis), who works in the criminal records department of Yorkshire Police, cataloguing and filing the evidence produced during major cases. “Channel 4 is incredibly proud to champion this ground-breaking series, which celebrates the power of difference, offering viewers a fresh take on the crime genre.” It marks the latest collaboration between UK producer Eagle Eye and Germany-based producer-distributor Beta, following ITV’s Professor T, the Natascha McElhone-starrer Hotel Portofino and The Couple Next Door, which stars Sam Heughan ( Outlander, Suspect) and Eleanor Tomlinson ( The Outlaws, Poldark), and recently became Channel 4’s biggest scripted streaming launch ever.
