The sixth instalment of Robert Galbraith Cormoran Strike (C. B. Strike in the US) television series will be with us in time for Christmas. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Ink Black Heart will be released on 16th/17th December 2024 and episodes 3 and 4 will follow on 23rd/24th December 2024 on BBC One in the UK. No dates yet for international release, but I will be posting reviews here on Hogwarts Professor as they are released in the UK.
One reason for the for the success of the show is the wonderful chemistry between the leads: Holliday Grainger and Tom Burke. Radio Times magazine released an article today with some lovely comments detailing his commitment to continuing with the series.
Burke told Radio Times: “She (Rowling) comes on set sometimes and will occasionally spill something like ‘There’ll be another scene in this place that’s quite important’, which is always intriguing.
“It’s a really precious job for me, it’s woven itself into my life in a very particular way.”
“Holliday and I have talked about it a lot, and we feel like the currency of it has so much to do with the slow burn arc of it, not the individual stories, and that’s why it feels so worthwhile playing it through to the end.”
Yesterday the BBC released the first official trailer for the new series. Let me know what you think in the comments.
