The Blindspot cast are at the helm of the thrilling four-part drama series which is airing on Channel 5 over consecutive nights. It sees a huge return to acting for Ross Kemp, best known for his iconic role as Grant Mitchell in EastEnders.

In the series, we follow an inept, and possibly corrupt cop and a disabled woman who is convinced a murder has taken place on her estate. However, she isn't taken seriously, prompting her to take matters into her own hands.

As a result, Hannah is pulled into a dangerous world and forms an unlikely bond with a local police officer, so it sounds like it's going to be gripping stuff.

There's a great cast attached to the drama series, so here's everything you need to know about them and what you might've seen them in before...
