Martin Freeman opens up about his hard-hitting TV series “A Confession” in a new interview with ET Canada. Freeman takes on the role of detective Steve Fulcher in the show, which is set to launch on BritBox in Canada on May 12.
The series tells the real-life tale of 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan, who disappeared in 2011 after a night out with friends.
Fulcher gets a local taxi driver to confess to the murder, as well as admitting to killing another woman years earlier. However, due to the detective not following what’s deemed as correct police procedure after arresting the killer, he faces huge consequences despite doing what’s best for the victims’ families in that instance.
