The Serial Killer's Wife is a thriller based on the bestselling novel and stars Annabel Scholey, Jack Farthing and Luke Treadaway.
Based on a bestseller, The Serial Killer’s Wife stars The Split’s Annabel Scholey as Beth Fairchild, a woman whose idyllic world falls apart when her husband is arrested for murder.
This suspense-packed thriller series also stars Jack Farthing as Beth’s seemingly straight-laced husband Tom, while Luke Treadaway is Tom’s best friend and Beth’s confidant, Adam.
At first, trusting wife Beth is convinced that her husband has been wrongly accused but, as she delves into his affairs, she begins to wonder how well you can really know the person you love.
The Serial Killer's Wife is set in a picturesque English village, and begins with Beth Fairchild (Annabel Scholey) preparing a surprise birthday party for her husband Tom (Jack Farthing), who is the much-loved local GP.
However, the celebrations come to an abrupt end when the police arrive and, in front of most of the village, arrest Tom for the murder of his former assistant.
Outraged, Beth is convinced of her husband’s innocence but she soon makes some shocking discoveries that make her question her judgment.
As she confides in Tom’s best friend, Adam (Luke Treadaway) Beth realises her perfect life isn’t quite what it seems...
Annabel Scholey leads the cast of The Serial Killer's Wife playing Beth Fairchild, whose husband Tom is accused of murder.
A red-faced Beth believes her husband is innocent, but the longer Tom is held for questioning, the more side-eyes, stares and whispers she must endure around town.
Then, when other deaths are linked to Tom and the Fairchilds’ private lives become headline news, Beth begins to do her own digging into her husband’s past and soon finds herself questioning everything she’s ever known.
Will she stand by her man to protect her family and reputation?
"Beth takes her roles as a mother and a wife very seriously, much like her position in the community," says Annabel Scholey, 39, who also starred in BBC1 drama The Sixth Commandment.
"Appearances are very important to her, so she’s mortified when the police interrupt Tom’s 40th. She loves her husband and will do anything to defend him, for better or worse, but she feels like her life is crumbling.
"Their marriage is very complicated, too. They’re soulmates on many levels, and I think their attraction for each other verges on obsession, but Tom is quite dominating.
Ultimately, Beth has to work out why she’s allowed that to happen and if she’s OK with it.
"I don’t think you’ll guess what’s coming. There are no obvious goodies and baddies, although Beth is a scary part to play. I always think if a script scares you, though, you should do it, and this is exciting, sexy and dangerous."
