Philip Glenister will return to BBC One in a new primetime drama, it has been announced.
The Scotsman reports that the actor, most famous for his role as DCI Gene Hunt in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, will play solicitor Harry Venn in Undisclosed.
He said: "I am looking forward to shooting Undisclosed, which I feel is a bold, innovative, complex piece of drama."
The plot sees Venn preparing a case which draws him into the story of his brother's death two decades previously.
