The 30 year old actress, best known for her roles in Time and Mr Loverman, stars as former Scotland Yard detective Millie Black, who returns to her native Jamaica to work in the Missing Persons department of the local police force.
Get Millie Black stars Tamara Lawrence and Joe Dempsie promise that viewers of their new Caribbean-set police drama will see a side of Jamaica that has not been shown on television before.
Marlon James says the idea behind Meet Millie Black was to give people a more complicated view of what Jamaica is.
“Before filming, I definitely held the same preconceptions as many other people – of Jamaica as a holiday destination,” says Game of Thrones star Joe.
Meanwhile Joe’s character, British detective Luke Holborn, arrives in Kingston as part of an investigation into a crime gang and a powerful local family connected to them.
