Ad-free subscription video-on-demand service BritBox UK has commissioned Marlow, an original 8 x 60’ scripted thriller from Motive Pictures and Endeavor Content.
The story follows feuding families the Marlows and the Wyatts, who have existed in the ‘Edgelands’ of the Thames Estuary for centuries – facing off across the water in this land of smugglers, mudlarks, entrepreneurs and opportunists.
The series, which is due to go into production in the autumn, is created by Tony Grisoni (Southcliffe, Red Riding) and Simon Maxwell (Deep State), who will both serve as executive producers along with Foy. Additional cast and crew details will be released in due course.

The pair will play the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, who famously divorced in the 60s.
Foy will play Evie Wyatt, a woman who returns to the Edgelands looking for answers and revenge after losing her father to a firestorm 15 years earlier. But it isnât long before she is sucked back into the ongoing conflicts between the two families.
âIâm delighted to be a part of this compelling thriller,â said Foy. âTony and Simonâs scripts are so evocative of place and redolent with atmosphereâand the twists, turns and mysteries at the heart of this drama are utterly gripping. Evie Wyatt is such a captivating, complex and beguiling character, much like the enigmatic âEdgelandsâ which she calls home, and I canât wait to get to step into her shoes.â
