UK Thriller “Vigil” FTA Premiere 9 March on SBS
Next month, SBS will air Vigil, an acclaimed UK thriller starring Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie.
The submarine thriller surpassed the 2018 premiere of Bodyguard as the most watched new British drama. Vigil aired on Binge last year but this will be it’s Free To Air Premiere.
As the series begins a member of the HMS VIGIL’s crew is found dead, prompting the submarine’s captain to request assistance from the Scottish Police. But there’s a catch. Protecting the integrity of the United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrence is paramount. Chief Inspector Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) of the Metropolitan Police Department must enter the submarine while it continues its patrol to conduct an investigation. Amy has her doubts about the official cause of death being an overdose accident. The team quickly forms a defensive line in response to Amy’s questions, and a new danger quickly overtakes the focus from her investigation.
Vigil will be available on SBS On Demand from Thursday 2 March and SBS from the following week, Thursday 9 March at 9.30pm.
