Manhunt cast from ITV crime drama starring Martin Clunes

Here’s all you need to know about ITV drama Manhunt from the cast to the number of episodes.

Manhunt tells the true story of how serial killer Levi Bellfield was brought to justice for his shocking crimes.

Written by Ed Whitmore (Silent Witness, Rillington Place, Strike Back) and produced by Buffalo Pictures, Manhunt uncovers the real life story of how the murder of French student, Amelie Delagrange, on Twickenham Green in August 2004 was eventually linked to the murders of Marsha McDonnell in 2003, and the abduction and murder of Milly Dowler in 2002.

With the full co-operation of former DCI Colin Sutton, Manhunt dramatises the hunt to find the killer, following detailed and painstaking investigation by the former London Metropolitan police detective and his team, as they dedicated themselves to finding Amelie’s killer, and pursuing links to the other murders.
