Get ready to add another gripping crime series to your watch list, because We Hunt Together is coming to Alibi next month and they've just released some brand new teaser shots.

The six-part series stars Broadchurch actress Eve Myles and National Treasure's Babou Ceesay - a mismatched pair of detectives who are on the hunt for two killers.

The duo are thrown together on a high-profile murder case - but they couldn't be more different. DI Jackson Mendy (Babou Ceesay) has a history of police anti-corruption and holds a firm belief that no one can ever be held entirely responsible for their actions.

This irritates DS Lola Franks (Eve Myles) and along with Jackson's unease over his partner's inability to deal with her own demons, the pair's differences cause a great deal of tension during the investigation.

Viewers are also introduced to Freddy (Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Hermione Corfield) and Baba (Dipo Ola). Freddy, who is described as "magnetic, highly intelligent [and] disarmingly charming" is the complete opposite to vulnerable and compassionate Baba.

Baba is a former child soldier and his encounter with Freddy changes his life completely. He wants to resist his urge for extreme violence, but together with Freddy, the couple become a dangerous double act.

The gripping cat and mouse drama explores themes of sexual attraction and emotional manipulation which combined, results in devastating consequences.

Now, Alibi has released new images of the guest stars we can expect to see when the series drops next month.

Speaking of the new series, Eve Myles said: "We Hunt Together is a masterpiece - it's thought-provoking and punchy, yet comic at times.

"Really looking forward to carving out this complicated character and working on these brilliant scripts."

While her co-star Babou Ceesay added: "I'm thrilled to be working with BBC Studios and UKTV on such a provocative and gritty crime drama.

"With this fantastic mix of actors, producers, directors and writer on board, we can truly create something compelling and unique."

The show, which is produced by BBC Studios Productions, is written by Cheat's Gaby Hull and is the second series to be jointly commissioned by UKTV and BBC Studios Distribution, the first being Traces that starred Line Of Duty's Martin Compston.

While the release date is yet to be confirmed, we do know the show will be arriving on our screens next month. With a star-studded cast and a seriously gripping plot, we've got a good feeling about this one.
