First look photos show the pair as a mother-daughter duo adjusting to life after being forced to enter the Witness Protection Programme.

With their lives in danger, single mum Anna and her teen daughter Maya trade in their life in London for a new beginning in rural Scotland.

The move means they even have to leave Anna’s parents behind as they adopt new identities.

However, they cannot run forever, with two hitmen, Benji and Ted on their tail and determined to ruin them both, and a mysterious figure from their past, Bobby, proving to still be a looming presence in their life.

The six-episode series will air in 2026, and is created and directed by Haggard.

Q, Rebus) and Tom Courtenay (Quartet, 45 Years).
