The detectives from each era are Kyle Soller, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Amaka Okafor and Shira Haas all different eras – 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053. Will they all unlock the conspiracy that has plagued the investigation for 150 years?

Four detectives. Four timelines. One body. Based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer, Bodies is a police procedural with a twist. When a body – the same body – is found on Longharvest Lane in London’s East End in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, one detective from each period must investigate. As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Stephen Graham) – becomes increasingly central. Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play? To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years.

Netflix will launch all episodes of Bodies on 19th October.
