Fans of serial killer stories and tense mystery thrillers are going to love diving into this fresh Channel 4 series. Hunting Alice Bell is all about finding the identity of the titular woman, who is a nurse, lover and accomplice of a notorious killer. The problem is, she's living under a new name, which leads to a string of different women being accused of being Alice Bell.

This story of paranoia, moral panic, and social conflict has a brilliant British cast, including Simon Pegg, Ralf Little, Alexandra Roach, Amanda Babbington, and Rudi Dharmalingam. If that wasn't enough, the talent off-screen is impressive, too, with David Baddiel and Peter Bradshaw writing the scripts.

There'll be six episodes of this gripping crime drama, releasing weekly, which means we'll have to slowly but surely watch the intense mystery unfold before our eyes.
