Strike TV Series > Season 1
The Cuckoo’s Calling
The adaptation of Robert Galbraith’s novel The Cuckoo’s Calling, starring Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger alongside an all-star cast. Written by Ben Richards and directed by Michael Keillor, the three episodes of ‘The Cuckoo’s Calling’ aired on BBC One in Autumn 2017.
When troubled model Lula Landry (Elarica Johnson) falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike (Tom Burke) to look into the case.
Across three episodes, we meet war veteran turned private investigator, Cormoran Strike. Together with new assistant Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger) who has joined Strike only as a ‘temporary secretary’; the pair begin to investigate the mysterious death. Will the pair discover who killed Lula?
