New Tricks actress Amanda Redman is to star in a new six-part comedy drama for ITV1.
Honest sees Redman star alongside Danny Webb and Sean Pertwee, as the wife of a ex-con who has made the decision that her and her husband are now going straight.
The series has been adapted by Wild at Heart writer Jack Williams and will be directed by Brian Kelly and Julian Holmes. Jill Green and Eve Gutierrez will co-produce the project for Greenlit Rights.
Director of ITV entertainment and comedy, Paul Jackson says: "Jack has done a great job in adapting the Honest scripts and I am thrilled that Amanda is heading up this brilliant and talented cast."
Greenlit Rights’ managing director, Jill Green adds: "Honest takes a witty look at a rather wayward family whose matriarch is trying to get them out of the criminal circle they have become so used to. We are delighted to have the hugely talented Amanda Redman on board – she was absolutely our first choice for the role of Lindsay."
The show will be filmed in Feltham, Ashford and Staines in Middlesex, and broadcast next year.
