Channel 5 has commissioned The Catch, a primetime drama based on The Sunday Times Bestselling author T.M. Logan's novel of the same name.

The series will be produced by Projector Pictures, in partnership with Night Train Media and All3Media International.

The Catch is a psychological thriller which will be adapted for the screen by Michael Crompton (The Holiday, Silent Witness, Safe House, Kidnap and Ransom) with Rachel Gesua, Suzi McIntosh and Trevor Eve executive producing for Projector Pictures and Herbert L.

Set against the hauntingly beautiful coastline of the west of England, The Catch introduces us to Ed Collier, a proud husband, father and local fisherman determined to do whatever it takes to keep his family together. But when a rich, handsome younger man enters daughter, Abbie’s, life and threatens to take her away from him, Ed finds his life spiralling out of control. Secrets and lies are exposed with every twist and turn but will Ed discover the truth about his daughter's new boyfriend before it’s too late?

Filming on the series is due to commence later this year.
