BBC Three to air 'Harper's Island'

Harper's Island is to air on BBC Three later this year, the BBC has confirmed.

The CBS murder mystery, starring Christoper Gorham and Harry Hamlin, sees friends and family attend a wedding on a secluded island off the coast of Seattle, only for them to begin dying one by one.

The guests, each with their own motives, must find the killer - or killers - before they strike again.

By the end of the 13 episodes all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and there will be few survivors.

BBC Television's head of series Sue Deeks said: "This is truly exciting event television - a suspenseful, contemporary take on the classic murder mystery with more than a dash of horror - think Agatha Christie meets Scream and you will get the idea!"
