Who Is Erin Carter? cast
Snabba Cash star Evin Ahmad plays Erin Carter, with Sean Teale as Evin's husband Jordi and Indica Watson as Erin's daughter Harper.
Speaking of doing stunts in the show, Evin Ahmad told us: "It was very fun — sweaty, warm and fun! There's just something about violence and choreography and badass female characters, I just like the rhythm when it comes to a fight. It was difficult, of course, but it was lovely to do it — and sometimes it hurt!"
The ensemble cast also includes Pep Ambròs as Emilio, Erin's detective neighbour who is Jordi's best friend, Douglas Henshall as Daniel Lang, the father of one of Erin's pupils who gets caught up in her complicated life, Susannah Fielding as Olivia, the administrator at Erin's school who's also her best friend, Denise Gough as the enigmatic Lena, and Jamie Bamber in an as-yet-undisclosed role.

Who Is Erin Carter? plot
Netflix has released the following synopsis of Who Is Erin Carter?:
"Meet Erin — mum, wife and teacher living the ex-pat dream in Spain. Or so we think until she finds herself caught up in a robbery in a supermarket, which then leads to her being revealed as a badass fighter! Erin is clearly not who she says she is, but who exactly is she and how far will she go to keep her true identity at bay as her life begins to unravel?
"Who Is Erin Carter? combines a unique blend of genres: Erin’s family life and work life at the local international school offers rich character-driven domestic drama, while the crime story combines nail-biting plot twists with breath-taking action sequences."
The story begins as we see Erin and a small child leaving the UK behind and it's clear that they are running away from someone or something — and then we pick up the story several years down the line as Erin and her daughter Harper are settled and (mostly) happy in Barcelona, with Erin working a substitute teacher job that she's hoping to turn into a permanent position.
But when she and Harper get caught up in the supermarket robbery, Erin deploys some incredible fighting skills to fend off the robbers, which make it clear that she's no run-of-the-mill teacher — and one of the robbers appears to recognise her, which sends Erin into her panic. But what exactly has she been running from, and is it finally about to catch up with her?
Is there a trailer for Who Is Erin Carter?
