Outlander's Sam Heughan teases new Channel 4 drama alongside James Nesbitt

Sam Heughan has teased fans with his brand new Channel 4 show which sees him star beside James Nesbitt.

The Outlander star took to Instagram to share a teaser of the brand new drama Suspect.

Sharing the advert on his Instagram story, he wrote: "Oh HI! @channel4 Suspect...Coming Soon."

The 41-year-old actor is best known for his role in Diana Gabaldon's historical fantasy series Outlander, but his global fanbase are excited to see him in something a little less historical.

Adapted from the original Danish series Forhøret, Channel 4’s crime thriller Suspect tells the story of a detective who goes to routinely identify a body and is shocked to discover that it is in fact his estranged daughter.

Channel 4 has announced a star-studded cast for a new eight-part crime thriller as an adaptation of Christoffer Boe’s hit Danish series “Forhøret.”

James Nesbitt will lead the cast for the new series as Danny Fraser, alongside Outlander 's Sam Heughan, Sex Education's Anne-Marie Duff, and Loki 's Richard E. Grant.

When Sam revealed the exciting news he was cast in the drama, he told fans on Instagram: "What a cast! And brilliant creative team. So excited. Having a blast shooting this with the excellent @driesvos (though I don't understand a word he says)."

Danny will meet key figures in Christina's life including her partner Nicola, her best friend Maia, her business partner Jaisal, her godfather Ryan, her mentor Harry and her mother, Danny's ex-wife Susannah.

Through his journey, Danny will learn about his daughter's descent into delinquency and be forced to confront his own failings as a father whilst struggling to determine what really happened.

The cast also includes Joely Richardson, Ben Miller, Niamh Algar, Antonia Thomas, Sacha Dhawan and Imogen King.
