Los Angeles: British star Keeley Hawes is set to headline BBC One’s upcoming miniseries “Crossfire”, touted as a story of survival and resilience
The 45-year-old actor, known for featuring in critically-acclaimed shows “Bodyguard” and “Line of Duty”, will also executive produce the series.
According to Deadline, the show is written by “Apple Tree Yard” author Louise Doughty.
